Abstract

We present the cannulation technique for venopulmonary extracorporeal membrane oxygenation using the ProtekDuo dual-lumen cannula in a patient who, after a bilateral orthotopic lung transplant and coronavirus disease 2019 infection, was converted from a multisite venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation configuration, using the same vessel.

Keywords: ECMO; Lung transplant.
