【 摘 要 】

Background: Right ventricular (RV) failure is a common complication of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD).1,2 We describe two cases of durable LVAD carriers requiring acute RV mechanical support provided using the ProtekDuo (LivaNova, IT) cannula, implanted via the right jugular internal vein, bypassing the RV by draining blood from the right atrium to an extracorporeal blood pump (Rotaflow pump, Maquet, DE) and returning it to the pulmonary artery (Figure 1).
