title: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation rescue in adolescent with bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia like Wegener's granulomatosis.
abstract: We report a 17-year-old woman with bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia (BOOP)-like granulomatosis with polyangiitis developing severe airway obliterations. Pending age, phase and grade of autoimmune treatment, and offering ECMO treatment may be crucial for survival but occasionally preface futility. ECMO-treated patient with BOOP-like GPA has never been described before.
