AB  - Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is used not only support 
      gas transfer of patients suffering from respiratory failure, but also to manage 
      hypoxic patients with critical airway obstruction during various procedures. We 
      present a case in which we electively used VV-ECMO to facilitate tube placement 
      and tracheal biopsy in a 67-year-old female with critical tracheal stenosis. The 
      patient was transferred to our hospital for a surgical treatment after emergent 
      tracheostomy for postoperative management of cerebral hemorrhage in right 
      putamen. Her trachea was severely stenotic and just enough for a 5.5 mm 
      tracheostomy tube. Removal of tracheostomy tube, tracheal wall biopsy and 
      intra-tracheal tube placement were successfully performed under VV-ECMO support, 
      drainage from inferior vena cava returned into the right ventricle (RV). RV 
      perfusion was a very useful and effective method in VV-ECMO system, although some 
      careful wire management was needed under fluoroscopic guidance.
