“…The need for emergency ECMO for cardiorespiratory compromise in mediastinal malignancy is uncommon. There are few case reports in the literature which describe airway and vena caval compression by mediastinal mass requiring ECMO [ 1 – 3 ]. Our case report is a unique combination of large mediastinal mass with pulmonary artery and RV outflow tract compression complicated by acute sub-massive pulmonary embolism causing cardiorespiratory collapse.…”

We describe a case of successful use of veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), as a bridge to cytoreductive therapy, in a patient with large mediastinal mass due to T cell lymphoblastic leukemia, complicated by acute cardiorespiratory compromise from mechanical compression and pulmonary embolism.
