Veno-venous ECMO without heparinization can be successfully used as a bridge-to-recovery for patients with life-threatening warfarin-exacerbated diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
Lee et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Warfarin-exacerbated diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (n=1). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was evaluated on Clinical recovery and weaning from ECMO. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was successfully used as a bridge-to-recovery therapy to treat a patient with fatal warfarin-exacerbated diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
