We report the case of an 18-year-old patient who underwent Ravitch procedure for pectus carinatum and subsequently had septic shock develop with severe cardiac dysfunction requiring treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. We advocate the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adult patients with intractable cardiorespiratory failure due to sepsis post-thoracic surgery unresponsive to conventional therapy.
