We report a case of a 59-year-old male in post-myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock undergoing left atrial venous arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (LAVA-ECMO) as a bridge to transplantation. The unique feature of this ECMO configuration is use of a single trans-septal cannula to provide biventricular unloading and use of a single arterial access.
