    AbstractA 46-year-old patient who had undergone right pneumonectomy for pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma presented with hypoxemia. The recurrent sarcoma in the mediastinum revealed external compression to the left pulmonary veins (PVs), leading to obstructive shock and cardiac arrest. Venous artery extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) was initiated; however, withdrawal was difficult, and the patient's survival seemed hopeless. However, the patient's condition improved with stenting for the compressed PV; therefore, VA-ECMO was discontinued, and he was discharged on foot. This is the first case report of obstructive shock due to critical PV stenosis caused by compression of a malignant tumor that responded to PV stenting.
