Malposition of a pulmonary artery catheter in the left ventricle: a case report [PDF]
Background Placement of pulmonary artery catheters may be associated with a variety of complications. We present a case where a pulmonary artery catheter was accidentally advanced into the left ventricle by perforating the intraventricular septum.

Cephalad misplacement of a pulmonary artery catheter in a patient with a preexisting Hickman catheter [PDF]
Background Pulmonary artery catheter insertion is a routine practice in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, pulmonary artery catheter insertion is associated with numerous complications that can be devastating to the patient ...

3D transesophageal echocardiographic visualization of the pulmonary artery catheter through the tricuspid valve and their position relative to the tricuspid valve leaflets [PDF]
Background The tricuspid valve is an atrioventricular valve consisting of three lobes. We used the 3D transesophageal echocardiography to visualize position of the pulmonary artery catheter at the tricuspid valve annulus and examined where the catheter ...

Postoperative detection of pulmonary artery catheter entrapment during minimally invasive mitral valve repair: a case report [PDF]
Background Pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) entrapment is a rare but serious complication caused by inadvertent suturing to cardiac or vascular structures. Case presentation A 42-year-old man underwent minimally invasive mitral valve repair via right mini-

Pulmonary artery catheters [PDF]
The description of the flow directed pulmonary artery catheter in 1970 and its subsequent commercial development allowed clinicians to measure cardiac output and derive central haemodynamic parameters at the bedside.1 On the assumption that measuring and manipulating these variables would improve outcomes, this device became widely used in intensive ...

Objectives: Identifying patients who will have an increase in their cardiac output from volume administration is difficult to identify. We propose the use of carotid flow time, which is a non-invasive means to determine if a patient is volume responsive.
