However, there continue to be notable morbidity risks, including acute kidney injury (AKI). This paper seeks to evaluate both short and long-term morbidity and mortality trends related to AKI development post-transplant, among VV-ECMO bridged and non-ECMO bridged patients respectively. We performed a retrospective cohort study of adult patients (\u2265\u200918 years) who underwent lung transplantation at a single tertiary care center between January 2018 and May 2024. 443 lung transplant recipients were included: 46 were bridged with preoperative VV-ECMO, and 397 underwent transplantation without ECMO bridge. Univariate logistic regression was used to evaluate predictors of postoperative AKI. A multivariable logistic regression model was then constructed using clinically relevant covariates and variables associated with AKI in univariate analyses. The initial incidence of post-operative AKI was significantly higher among patients bridged with VV-ECMO (67% vs. 44%\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.005), as were overall complications, including primary graft dysfunction grade 3 (41% vs. 9.8%,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and longer duration of mechanical ventilation (6.0 [2.0\u201317.0] vs. 2.0 [1.0\u20133.0] days,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). However, there was no significant difference in renal function trajectories between VV-ECMO bridged and non-bridged groups from 1 month to 1 year, operationalized via GFR and creatinine trends. There was no statistically significant difference in survival between VV-ECMO bridged and non-bridged groups (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.93). Independent of bridging status, patients who developed AKI post-operatively had significantly worse short and long-term survival after transplantation than those without AKI (log-rank\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). Preoperative VV-ECMO bridging was not associated with a statistically significant difference in overall survival during the available follow-up. In contrast, postoperative AKI was independently associated with increased mortality after lung transplantation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10047-026-01585-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,17]],"date-time":"2026-08-17T16:05:20Z","timestamp":1786982720000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of preoperative venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation bridging on postoperative acute kidney injury after lung transplantation"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Rachel","family":"Reichenbach","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yudai","family":"Miyashita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taichi","family":"Nagano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taisuke","family":"Kaiho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuriko","family":"Yagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ankit","family":"Bharat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.
