Growing Adoption of ECMO in Lung Transplantation Procedures Bolsters South America ECMO Market Growth

Lung transplantation is a life-saving treatment option for patients suffering from end-stage lung diseases, such as COPD, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and cystic fibrosis, to improve the quality of life. ECMO is a versatile tool used in all lung transplantation phases, such as preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. It acts as a bridge in patient undergoing lung transplantation. Therefore, the adoption of ECMO during lung transplantation is growing rapidly to manage patients with life-threatening lung disease. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the leading cause of death after a lung transplant. Thus, ECMO is used penultimately in treating PGD post lung transplantation. Thus, the demand for ECMO equipment is growing for treating the patients suffering from PGD.
