The novel ProtekDuo ventricular assist device: Configurations, technical aspects, and present evidence

Perfusion, 2022
The ProtekDuo, single site dual lumen cannula can be used in a multitude of configurations. In the medical literature, the ProtekDuo is described as right ventricular assist device (RVAD), as left ventricular assist device (LVAD), as biventricular assist

Right Ventricular Failure Post-Implantation of Left Ventricular Assist Device: Prevalence, Pathophysiology, and Predictors.

ASAIO journal (1992), 2020
Despite advances in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) technology, right ventricular failure (RVF) continues to be a complication after implantation. Most patients undergoing LVAD implantation have underlying right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (either

Less invasive left ventricular assist device implantation may reduce right ventricular failure.

Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2019
OBJECTIVES Right ventricular (RV) failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation continues to be a morbid complication. In this study, we hypothesized that a less invasive approach to implantation would preserve RV function relative to ...
