Journal Review in Thoracic Surgery: VV ECMO in Pre-Lung Transplant Patients - A Bridge to Somewhere

Join the Johns Hopkins Thoracic Surgery Subspecialty team on this rapid research review revealing how investigative efforts have changed the way we view and use Veno-venous (VV) ECMO therapy in the pre-lung transplant patient population working to avoid ventilator dependence and the associated morbidity while facilitating continued ambulation and preoperative optimization.

Hosts:
- Dr. Alfred J. Casillan, MD, PhD
Attending Thoracic Surgeon
Johns Hopkins Hospital

- Kyla Rakoczy, MD
Johns Hopkins General Surgery Resident
