TI  - Peripheral femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as bridge to 
      heart-lung transplant omne iter incipit primus.

AB  - Heart-lung transplant (HLT) is a widely accepted modality for certain patients 
      with advanced and refractory cardiopulmonary disease. Some of these patients are 
      critically ill on the transplant waiting list, and venoarterial extracorporeal 
      membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) can be used as a bridge to transplantation. 
      Although the experience with ECMO as a bridge to lung transplant is promising, 
      there is limited evidence to use ECMO as a bridge to HLT. Femoral cannulation 
      remains a concern for ambulation given the risk of bleeding and cannula 
      complications despite studies reporting its safety. We present a case of a 
      56-year-old male with interstitial lung disease and severe secondary pulmonary 
      hypertension, who was successfully bridged to HLT with ambulatory femoral 
      VA-ECMO.
