Introduction: Sars-CoV-2 induces an intense cytokine response called cytokine storm at the origin of acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death. In this context, several treatments have been proposed; and plasmapheresis appears as a promising treatment.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 57-year-old patient admitted for Sars-CoV-2 infection, who requiried the use of mechanical ventilation, assistance by veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ECMO and treated by plasmapheresis plugged on the ECMO circuit.
