The ProtekDuo in percutaneous peripheral venopulmonary-arterial ECMO and PROpella configuration for cardiogenic shock with biventricular failure.
Article in Annals of cardiac anaesthesia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This article describes a case study where a patient with ProtekDuo + oxygenator and Impella CP (PROpella) in biventricular failure and cardiogenic shock was reconfigured to venopulmonary-arterial (VP-A) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), secondary to leg ischemia. The ProtekDuo was subsequently used as double-lumen drainage cannula, returning blood into a newly percutaneously placed femoral arterial cannula, mimicking venoarterial (V-A) ECMO in VP-A configuration. The following day, an Impella 5.5 could be placed and the ProtekDuo was reconfigured back to its default venopulmonary (V-P) ECMO configuration, now again as PROpella with minimally invasive biventricular groin-free full mechanical circulatory support. However, while in VP-A, good drainage blood flows of up to 4.5 LPM could be achieved similar to the ProtekDuo forward flow. None of the lumens collapsed secondary to negative pressure in the system. Drainage through the ProtekDuo for VP-A ECMO is feasible and without complications for a 24-hour period. This new method extends the ProtekDuo's spectrum of use.
