Hepatopulmonary Syndrome: Use of Extracorporeal Life Support for Life-Threatening Hypoxia Following Liver Transplantation #MMPMID18581508
Liver Transpl 2008[Jul]; 14 (7): 966-70 PMID18581508show ga
Hepatopulmonary syndrome is an uncommon complication of nonacute liver failure, and in rare cases, hypoxia may be the presenting sign of liver dysfunction. The condition, once thought to be a contraindication, is improved in most cases by transplantation. There is a significant risk of postoperative, hypoxia-related morbidity and mortality in patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome. We present a case of life-threatening hypoxia following liver transplantation for liver failure and associated hepatopulmonary syndrome, with successful management using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
