Intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support during thoracic surgery for high-risk patients has most commonly been performed and reported in open cases. Minimally invasive thoracic surgery with venoarterial (VA) ECMO support has not been reported before. We report a successful case of VA ECMO-assisted robotic right upper lobectomy in a hemodynamically labile patient with severe bullous emphysema, hypoxia-induced severe pulmonary hypertension, and cor pulmonale.

Coronary vasospasm involves constriction of the coronary arteries and has been described after manipulation of the coronary arteries (ie, after stenting or bypass grafting). This report details the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with an endoleak after thoracic endovascular aortic repair. He underwent a frozen elephant trunk procedure and postoperatively had diffuse coronary vasospasm, demonstrated on pre- and post-vasospasm cardiac catheterization.

Objectives: The study aim was to investigate the outcomes and risk factors for mortality in patients undergoing surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) receiving concomitant veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support.
Methods: Patients from five European centers who underwent surgery for ATAAD and received perioperative veno-arterial ECMO support were included. A multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for thirty-day mortality.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between postoperative driving pressure (DP) and the prognosis of lung transplantation, and to further evaluate the value of early DP monitoring in lung transplantation.
Methods: A observational study was conducted. The patients after lung transplantation who admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Wuxi People's Hospital from February 1, 2022 to February 1, 2023 were collected.

Background: Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) is increasingly used in the treatment of intermediate and high-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE), and the treatment of high-risk PE with the aid of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has also been reported. However, there are few reports of VA-ECOM-assisted PMT in the treatment of high-risk PE. The purpose of this study is to summarize the data of 11 patients with high-risk PE treated with VA-ECMO assisted PMT, and propose feasible treatment methods for such patients.
