Protek Duo for right ventricle support. AP Chest radiograph with CLAHE filter after Protek Duo placement (a) demonstrating right basilar and mid-lung opacities. The outlet cannula portion should be in right ventricle and the inner portion within the pulmonary artery. In this case, the outlet cannula tip is within the right pulmonary artery. This can cause asymmetric perfusion and edema. Axial CT (b) in mediastinal window demonstrates asymmetric pulmonary opacities, right pleural effusion and a hemothorax (white arrow). (CLAHE—contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization)
