    ObjectiveRight-sided heart failure develops in lung transplantation candidates on prolonged peripheral extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and is a major determinant of mortality. The use of central venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for bridging of right-sided heart failure to lung transplantation was evaluated.DesignRetrospective case series and literature review.SettingA single tertiary care university hospital.ParticipantsThe study comprised lung transplantation candidates on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation bridging who developed right-sided heart failure.InterventionsCentral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.Measurements And Main ResultsOf 6 patients who underwent the study protocol, 3 were bridged successfully to lung transplantation and 1 was bridged to recovery.ConclusionsThe study demonstrates that central extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may be a feasible option for bridging of right-sided heart failure to lung transplantation.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
