Background: Premature infants surviving beyond a postmenstrual age (PMA) of 36 weeks with severe or grade 3 bronchopulmonary dysplasia (sBPD) have significant predischarge mortality. The in-hospital mortality for BPD supported by invasive mechanical ventilation beyond 36 weeks PMA is not well described. The role of lung transplantation in treating severe BPD is uncertain.

- - The study examines the challenges faced by infants and young children needing lung transplants, particularly issues with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support due to unstable neck cannulas, which can worsen their condition.
- - A retrospective case review at Texas Children's Hospital from 2019 to 2021 highlighted the successful use of Berlin Heart EXCOR cannulas in six patients, enabling them to remain stable and undergo rehabilitation while awaiting their transplants.
- - The innovative use of these cannulas resulted in successful extubation and rehabilitation for most patients, with no significant complications from the cannulation itself, though one patient did unfortunately experience severe complications leading to death.
