Stenting as a Rescue Treatment of a Pulmonary Artery False Aneurysm Caused by Swan-Ganz Catheterization [PDF]
Case Reports in Pulmonology, 2014 Pulmonary vascular injury is a rare but life-threatening complication of Swan-Ganz catheterization. We report an 82-year old patient who underwent right heart catheterization by a balloon-tipped catheter because of suspected pulmonary hypertension. After

Pulmonary Circulation, 2022 Right ventricular (RV) function critically affects the outcomes of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Pressure wave analysis using Swan‒Ganz catheterization (SG‐cath) allows for the calculation of indices of RV function.

Advances in Interventional Cardiology, 2016 Introduction: The placement of a Swan-Ganz catheter into the pulmonary artery may lead to a number of complications (2–17%). In less than 0.2% of cases Swan-Ganz catheterization results in serious vascular damage – pulmonary artery rupture (PAR).

Pacing in Left Bundle-Branch Block During Swan-Ganz Catheterization [PDF]
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1988 To the Editor. —We read with interest the recent article by Morris and colleagues 1 that reported a fairly low rate of developing complete heart block (CHB) during Swan-Ganz (SG) catheterization in patients with left bundle-branch block (LBBB). We feel that this is an important finding since several sources, including recent advanced cardiac life ...

Treatment effect bounds: An application to Swan–Ganz catheterization [PDF]
Journal of Econometrics, 2012 Abstract We reanalyze data from the observational study by Connors et al. (1996) on the impact of Swan–Ganz catheterization on mortality outcomes. The study by Connors et al. (1996) assumes that there are no unobserved differences between patients who are catheterized and patients who are not catheterized and finds that catheterization increases ...

Secondary migration of a pre-existing central venous catheter due to a Swan-Ganz catheter insertion - A case report - [PDF]
Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2023 Background The entanglement of multiple central venous catheters is a rare and serious complication. The Swan-Ganz catheter is a responsible for various cases.

Ventricular Arrhythmias During Swan-Ganz Catheterization of the Critically III
Chest, 1981 The incidence of ventricular arrhythmias in critically-ill patients during bedside right-sided heart catheterization with a flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter was determined. Twenty-nine of 60 catheterizations (48 percent) were associated with premature ventricular contractions and 20 (33 percent) were associated with ventricular tachycardia.

Left fascicular blocks during right-heart catheterization using the Swan-Ganz catheter. [PDF]
Circulation, 1981 During insertion of Swan-Ganz catheters, mechanical right bundle branch block occurred in association with left posterior fascicular block in two patients and with left anterior fascicular block in two. None of the four patients had acute myocardial infarction or acute (spontaneous or iatrogenic) pulmonary disease.

Tachycardia-polyuria syndrome after swan-ganz catheterization in liver transplant patient - A case report - [PDF]
Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2021 Background Tachycardia-polyuria syndrome is characterized by polyuria occurring because of tachycardia with a heart rate of ≥ 120 beats/min lasting ≥ 30 min. We report such a case occurring after swan-ganz catheterization.
