In this report we describe the use of intraoperative venoarterial ECMO as salvage therapy in a unique case of post-reperfusion intracardiac thrombosis during liver transplantation with prolonged ACLS and coagulopathy. The limited literature on intraoperative ECMO as salvage therapy in liver transplantation is reviewed.

Introduction: Intraoperative cardiac arrest (ICA) is a feared complication during liver transplantation (LTx), typically occurring during reperfusion. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been used for post-reperfusion cardiac arrest. Case report: We present a case of successful resuscitation after hyperkalemic ICA during the pre-anhepatic phase of a second liver transplantation by converting veno-venous bypass (VVB) to VA-ECMO. Discussion: While this technique has been recommended for ICA during reperfusion, it has never been reported during the pre-anhepatic phase. VA-ECMO can be a lifesaving extension to cardiopulmonary resuscitation for ICA during LTx with beneficial neurological outcome by providing perfusion while the cause of ICA is reversed. Conclusion: Conversion of VVB to VA-ECMO should be considered in all patients who suffer from ICA during LTx with use of VVB. With VVB installed, conversion to VA-ECMO is fast and effective. If VVB is not used, early VA-ECMO should be considered for ICA.
