No standard treatments have been established for airway hemorrhage during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Herein, we describe two cases of catheter-induced pulmonary hemorrhage during cardiac surgery. In each case, massive hemoptysis was observed during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) weaning. A bronchial blocker was inserted into the right bronchus, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was initiated to reduce pulmonary blood flow, and stabilize the hemodynamics. ECMO significantly reduced bleeding from the pulmonary artery (PA). Both cases had favorable outcomes following the implementation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ECMO is effective at controlling PA bleeding during and after cardiac surgery.
