This is the first pediatric and smallest patient to receive the device. Central cannulation was Helen Holtby, MBBS, FRCPC chosen to optimize blood flow through the device by enabling larger-sized cannulae in a patient with high pulmonary artery pressure. Novalung provided circulatory support with oxygenation obviating the need for extracorporeal mem- brane oxygenation while waiting for lung transplantation.
