Innovative use of Protek Duo during bilateral lung transplant with Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation assistance

V-A ECMO during bilateral lung transplantation is routinely used when extracorporeal support is needed, in particular in case of patients affected by pulmonary hypertension. We report the case of a patient successfully transplanted with V-A ECMO assistance using a percutaneous double lumen cannula a...

Sumario:V-A ECMO during bilateral lung transplantation is routinely used when extracorporeal support is needed, in particular in case of patients affected by pulmonary hypertension. We report the case of a patient successfully transplanted with V-A ECMO assistance using a percutaneous double lumen cannula as venous drainage (Protek Duo, CardiacAssist Inc., Pittsburgh, PA) and central aortic cannulation. The double lumen cannula allowed an optimal drainage of the venous system and effective emptying of right heart chambers.
