To show our experiences of using the axillary artery with a side graft as a cannulation technique for the inflow of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in lung transplantation (LTx). This method can avoid complications associated with central and femoral vessel cannulation techniques, and be convenient for the use of intraoperative ECMO into the early postoperative period.
