AbstractUnilateral pulmonary edema (UPE) is an uncommon yet potentially life-threatening complication of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS). Most frequently described after robotically assisted mitral valve (MV) repair, it is characterized by right lung edema, hypoxemia, hypercapnia, pulmonary hypertension, and hemodynamic instability beginning minutes-to-hours after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The authors describe a severe case with refractory hypoxemia requiring veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after robotically assisted MV repair.Copyright © 2021.
