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

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).

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.

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

Echocardiography versus right heart catheterization in class I pulmonary hypertension

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
It has been agreed that pulmonary hypertension should be determined by right heart catheterization. However, being invasive and refused by many patients, echocardiography was thought to be a reasonable substitute to determine a solid diagnosis of ...

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 ...

Acute cardio-centric haemodynamic management preserves chronic cardiovascular function in pigs with high-thoracic spinal cord injury. [PDF]

J Physiol
Abstract figure legend Recent work has shown that treating the reduction in heart function following acute spinal cord injury (SCI) better optimizes peripheral haemodynamics and spinal cord oxygenation than the standard approach of using vasopressors.

Air embolism during off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery -A case report- [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
There have been several reports of gas embolism occurring during off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB) surgery. However, all these cases of air embolism were associated with the repair of venous circulation, using a CO2 blower. In this report, we
