Although the pathological findings of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been reported in previous studies, the data of histopathological features of end-stage COVID-19 lungs are still lacking. We have previously reported the clinical features and managements of three COVID-19 patients with irreversible deterioration of pulmonary function who received lung transplantation (LT) after being supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)[1]. The detailed history and treatment of the patient has been reported previously [1]. In brief, the male patient was 73years of age with history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, diabetic nephropathy, chronic renal failure, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and deafness. He was admitted to the hospital with the initial symptoms of fever and coughs and was diagnosed as COVID-19 by reverse real-time PCR assay on Feb 2, 2020. The patient gradually developed ARDS during hospitalization and received tracheostomies and invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) on Feb 20. Veno-venous (VV)-ECMO was established on Feb 21. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) started on Feb 26 due to the rapid increase of serum creatine. Echocardiography (Mar 9) revealed right ventricular failure, biatrial enlargement (left atrium diameter, LAD 43mm), mild mitral insufficiency, mild aortic insufficiency, moderate tricuspid insufficiency, reduced left ventricular diastolic function (mitral valve orifice E peak< A peak), and elevated pulmonary artery pressure (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, TAPSE 12mm; flow velocity integral of E wave, TVIE peak< A peak; pulmonary artery systolic pressure, PASP 53 mmHg; ejection fraction, EF 56.01%). Given that the results of throat swab tests of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) had been continuously negative since Feb 25, the patient received LT after establishing intraoperative central cannulated veno-arterial (VA)-ECMO on Mar 10. He was weaned off intraoperative VA-ECMO support after LT. And the pre-LT VV-ECMO was maintained with low-dose inotropes until Mar 12. The patient was extubated on Apr 2.
