Summary

This trial is comparing two techniques for performing a bilateral lung transplant: off-pump vs venoarterial ECMO. The goal is to determine which has lower rates of primary graft dysfunction.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people who need both lungs replaced and can have surgery with or without a heart-lung machine (ECMO), as decided by their surgeon. They must have a certain level of blood pressure in the lungs to qualify. It's not for those needing only one lung, multiple organs, re-transplants, or who had major lung surgeries before.
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways to do lung transplants: 'off-pump' without using ECMO and using venoarterial ECMO during the procedure. The main focus is on which method leads to fewer complications with the new lungs starting to work ('primary graft dysfunction').
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include issues related to the surgical procedure such as bleeding, infection, or problems with how well the new lungs work. Using ECMO might also lead to blood clots or damage at the site where it's connected.
