Data on patient demographics, intraoperative transfusion volumes, postoperative complications, and survival were collected. The primary outcomes were intraoperative packed red blood cell transfusion volume and overall survival; secondary outcomes included incidence of primary graft dysfunction, acute kidney injury, and hemorrhagic and thromboembolic events. Continuous variables are reported as medians with interquartile ranges, and survival was estimated using the Kaplan\u2013Meier method.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seven patients (median age, 42 years; range, 30\u201356 years) underwent re-transplantation for chronic lung allograft dysfunction. The median intraoperative transfusion requirement was 560\u00a0ml (interquartile range 280\u20131050\u00a0ml). One patient developed primary graft dysfunction of grade 3and two developed stage 3 acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy. Two developed deep venous thrombosis nonrelated to ECMO cannulation; no pulmonary embolism occurred. At a median follow-up of 469 days, all patients survived without evidence of recurrence of chronic lung allograft dysfunction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Full anticoagulation-free peripheral VA-ECMO during lung re-transplantation is feasible and safe, with acceptable complication rates and potential reduction in transfusion requirements.
