This study details the first use of the ProtekDuo® device for venopulmonary (VP) to venoarterial (VA) ECMO conversion during bilateral lung transplantation, successfully supporting right ventricular function.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Pulmonary Medicine
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Pulmonary hypertension and acute respiratory failure can lead to severe right ventricular (RV) dysfunction.
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a critical support modality in complex cardiac and pulmonary cases.
- Bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation (BOLT) is a demanding procedure often requiring advanced circulatory support.
