Abstract
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the setting of combined cardiopulmonary failure provides full support of both cardiac and respiratory systems. However, it is difficult to isolate and evaluate pulmonary recovery independent of cardiac function on venoarterial ECMO. In this case report, we demonstrate the advantage of supporting a patient in cardiopulmonary failure with venovenous ECMO and the Impella 5.5 as a method to isolate organ dysfunction, wean off ECMO as respiratory function improves, and bridge to a left ventricular assist device with Impella 5.5 monotherapy.
