The Effect of Lt to Rt Shunt Using Veno-veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) on Coronary Oxygenation in Lung Transplantation Patients

ECMO(Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) is being essential for cardiopulmonary failure patients. There are two types of ECMO, which is veno-veno (V-V) that can be used in respiratory failure patients and veno-arterial (V-A) that can be used in cardiac failure patients. V-A ECMO can also be used during lung transplantation, substitution of cardiopulmonary bypass, which can show sufficient performance during operation and better postoperative outcome. However, regarding V-A ECMO circulating from femoral vein to femoral artery, there is a pro blem of differential hypoxia which might influence coronary artery and head vessels. In this prospective study, the investigators are planning to put another ECMO catheter into internal jugular vein which takes a role of left to right shunt, to mitigate the hypoxia of coronary artery.
