A 28-year-old man presented in extremis after a motorcycle crash. Following traumatic pneumonectomy, he developed right heart failure and was placed on veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) only to transition to veno-arteriovenous (VAV) ECMO due to persistent hypoxemia. Resulting flow limitation caused distal ischemia of his left leg, requiring thrombectomy and fasciotomy. Potential loss of limb necessitated transitioning to veno-venous (VV) ECMO from which he was successfully decannulated thereafter. ECMO can bridge recovery following the most dire injuries, and hybrid strategies can ameliorate post-operative complications; however, ECMO itself carries significant risks that must be weighed against intended benefit.
