AB  - Cardiopulmonary support is frequently required during lung transplantation. 
      Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been recently 
      shown to be an acceptable and, perhaps, safer alternative to cardiopulmonary 
      bypass machine (CBM) for lung transplantation. However, therapeutic 
      anticoagulation used during both these techniques can cause significant bleeding 
      diathesis, especially in the setting of re-transplantation or when severe 
      adhesions are encountered. Technological advances have reduced the thrombogenic 
      potential of VA-ECMO circuits and unlike CBM, VA-ECMO does not include a 
      reservoir containing a stagnant column of blood. Here, we demonstrate that 
      VA-ECMO can be used without therapeutic anticoagulation for short-term 
      intraoperative support.
