Veno-venal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to support whole-lung lavage in a severe case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.

August 2024
We present the case of a 71-year-old woman with severe bilateral primary alveolar proteinosis admitted for bilateral whole lung lavage (WLL) with a double-lumen endotracheal tube. She had a cardiac arrest of respiratory origin during the procedure and recovered after one minute of advanced resuscitation. A second LLP was scheduled under respiratory support with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO).

Recent Findings: Women with HF present a better prognosis than men and have a lower incidence of SCD, irrespective of the presence of ischemic heart disease and age.
Objective: In patients with advanced heart failure, the intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) of subsegmental pulmonary artery measurements is correlated with right heart catheterization parameters. Our aim was to study the prognostic value of pulmonary OCT, right heart catheterization data, and the echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary pressure in patients studied for elective heart transplants.
Methods: This research is an observational, prospective, multicenter study involving 90 adults with a one-year follow-up.
