• This report describes a patient with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and irreversible lung destruction who underwent successful lung transplantation after 138 days of bridging with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. The case exemplifies that lung transplantation may be a possibility after very long-term coronavirus disease 2019 care, even if the patient is initially an unsuitable candidate.
