Successful use of Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation as a bridge to heart transplant performed on a 34-year old woman from Delhi.
The procedure saved the life of 34 year old who was suffering from severe heart failure. As her health was in a critical state, the young woman had to be airlifted from her hometown Delhi and brought to the Chennai based multi-specialty hospital for the heart transplant. The successful use of Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to a transplant is extremely uncommon in India since not too many centres in India have the expertise and equipment.
