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 ...

Accuracy of Swan‒Ganz catheterization‐based assessment of right ventricular function: Validation study using high‐fidelity micromanometry‐derived values as reference

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.

Incremental Experience in In Vitro Primary Culture of Human Pulmonary Arterial Endothelial Cells Harvested from Swan-Ganz Pulmonary Arterial Catheters

Cells, 2021
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating condition affecting the pulmonary microvascular wall and endothelium, resulting in their partial or total obstruction.

Pulmonary artery rupture as a complication of Swan-Ganz catheter application. Diagnosis and endovascular treatment: a single centre’s experience

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).

Stenting as a Rescue Treatment of a Pulmonary Artery False Aneurysm Caused by Swan-Ganz Catheterization

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

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.

Assessing Cardiac Flow Measurements Using a Noninvasive Photoplethysmography-Based Device Compared to Invasive Pulmonary Artery Catheter [PDF]

JACC: Advances
Background: Invasive monitoring is considered the gold standard for hemodynamic monitoring, yet it poses inherent risks. Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare invasive hemodynamic measurements using a noninvasive wearable photoplethysmography ...

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.
