title: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support after Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy for esophageal adenocarcinoma.
abstract: Respiratory failure after Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy results in poor outcomes. Limited treatment strategies are available to manage this severe complication. One possibility is extracorporeal support. We report the successful use of extracorporeal support as a successful strategy for refractory respiratory failure.
