	abstract = {Background: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is used to support gas transfer of patients suffering from respiratory failure during various procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of fluoroscopic stent placement under respiratory support with VV ECMO in patients with critical airway obstructions.
Methods: We reviewed the records of 17 patients (14 male and 3 female; mean age: 63 years; range, 30–82 years) who underwent self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement under VV ECMO respiratory support for critical airway obstruction caused by malignant (n=16) or benign (n=1) etiology. 
Results: Fluoroscopic placement of SEMS was successful in all patients (100%) with no procedure-related complications. During a mean follow-up of 83 days (range, 10–367 days), 15 (88.2%) of 17 patients showed improvement of Hugh-Jones grades (from 4.7±0.4 to 3.1±0.9, P},
