Abstract
We present a 61?year?old patient with pulmonary hypertension, acute respiratory failure, and acute severe right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Preoperatively, a ProtekDuo® was inserted for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and RV protection with venopulmonary (VP) ECMO in (dl) V?P ECMO configuration. Intraoperatively, it provided venous drainage for venoarterial (VA) ECMO in (dl) VP?/AO configuration for bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation (BOLT). Postoperatively, the patient remained on (dl) V?P ECMO for RV support and was decannulated with mild RV dysfunction after 5 days. This is the first description of the ProtekDuo® used in (dl) V?P to (dl) VP?/AO to (dl) V?P configuration for the entire perioperative period of BOLT.
