Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be used safely as a bridge to lung transplantation in carefully selected elderly patients. We report the case of a 70-year-old patient bridged on ECMO before transplantation. A brief discussion on improving outcomes for the elderly and patients bridged on ECMO in general is presented.
