CTICasesProtek Duo Device for Right Ventricular Support Post-LVAD
Imaging findings
Radiograph and CT images show an LVAD in place. A new device, the Protek Duo, is seen placed via the jugular vein, featuring an inflow port in the right atrium and an outflow port just past the pulmonic valve, appearing as a cannula-in-a-cannula design. This device provides right ventricular assistance and can incorporate an inline oxygenator.
Key takeaways
The Protek Duo device is a relatively new right ventricular assist device used to support patients with right ventricular failure, often complicating LVAD placement. It is placed via the jugular vein, with inflow from the right atrium and outflow to the pulmonary artery, providing temporary right heart support.
