Abstract
Advances in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation have enabled the facilitation of surgical intervention in patients who may otherwise be considered inoperable using conventional ventilation-for example, the resection of an early stage metachronous lung cancer in a patient who has previously undergone a pneumonectomy for a prior lung cancer. We present one such case: a 52-year-old man who underwent right lower lobe segmentectomy for a second primary lung cancer, 3 years after left pneumonectomy, using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. To our knowledge, there are no published case reports describing the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in resection of metachronous lung cancer after pneumonectomy.
