A 64-year-old patient required emergency surgery with high risk of intubation failure, without any possibility to perform neither a direct transtracheal access nor VV-ECMO canulation. The patient was managed thanks to a VA-ECMO despite the absence of cardiac function impairment. This report describes perioperative challenges and management of this unconventional case with favorable outcome.
