Avalon catheter has dual lumen for both drainage (blue arrow) and perfusion (red arrow) in one tube (A). Transesophageal echocardiography during cannulation showed that the perfusion hole was located at mid right atrium right above tricuspid valve (TV, arrow head). Perfusion flow went from the perfusion hole to the TV direction (B). After establishment of good catheter position, the catheter was clamped (C) and connected to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (D).
