Bloodless lung transplantation: Comparison between 2 central venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation anticoagulation strategies and their impact on lung transplant outcomes.
Objective: To report differences between 2 anticoagulation protocols during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) intraoperative support and their effects on outcomes after lung transplantation.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing double-lung transplantation with intraoperative VA-ECMO from January 1, 2016, to December 30, 2023. Two distinct anticoagulation protocols were in place during this period. One included targeted activated clotting time >180 seconds at all times with protamine reversal after decannulation. The second included 75 units per kilogram of heparin at the time of cannulation with no redosing plus a tranexamic acid infusion after ECMO initiation.
Results: A total of 116 patients (46 low heparin, 70 standard) were included in the analysis. Cannulation strategies and ECMO circuit were equivalent between the groups. The low-dose heparin protocol group had a shorter surgical time (7.28 hours vs 8.53 hours, P < .001) and required significantly less intraoperative packed red blood cells (median 0 vs 4.37 units, P < .001), fresh-frozen plasma (median 0 vs 2 units, P < .001), platelets (median 0 vs 1 units, P < .001), cryoprecipitate (median 0 vs 0 units, P < .001), and total blood products (median 0 vs 9 units, P < .001) compared with the standard group. There were no differences in rates of deep vein thrombosis (P = .13), airway dehiscence (P > .99), pneumonia (P = .38), or acute kidney injury requiring renal-replacement therapy (P = .59). There was no difference in rates of severe grade 3 primary graft dysfunction at 72 hours after transplant (P = .42).
Conclusions: Our low-dose heparin VA-ECMO protocol for intraoperative support during lung transplantation led to a significant reduction of blood product use. Although this did not translate to a reduced rates of grade 3 primary graft dysfunction, the low-dose heparin protocol was associated with similar postoperative outcomes.
