• We present a case of successful veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in infant with SARS-COV-2 associated pneumonia. To the best of our knowledge, this patient was the youngest infant successfully discharged after the VA-ECMO for COVID-19. We report one complication of ECMO support, which was bleeding from the site of the radial artery cannulation. We followed up this patient for 6 months after the discharge: delayed psychomotor development and inability to swallow were noted. Follow-up CT 3 months after the discharge showed linear fibrosis of S5 lung segment.
