Acute right heart failure (RHF) is a severe complication of right ventricular infarction. The management of acute RHF poses a number of challenges, such as providing haemodynamic support. Temporary circulatory support (TCS) may be required upon failing medical therapy. The ProtekDuo® dual lumen cannula provides a minimally invasive option for (TCS) through a groin‐free internal jugular vein approach. We present the largest patient series to date using the ProtekDuo® cannula as temporary right ventricular assist device (t‐RVAD) in RHF after acute myocardial infarction (MI).
