In this report we describe the use of intraoperative venoarterial ECMO as salvage therapy in a unique case of post-reperfusion intracardiac thrombosis during liver transplantation with prolonged ACLS and coagulopathy. The limited literature on intraoperative ECMO as salvage therapy in liver transplantation is reviewed.
