Pulmonary artery catheters [PDF]
BMJ, 2006 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 ...

Super telescopic catheter system parallel to a contralateral stiff guide wire to cross extremely complex pulmonary arteries [PDF]
, 2022 Access to complex stenotic pulmonary arteries can be challenging due to their anatomy or secondary to prior multiple surgeries and interventions. Two techniques have been previously described to address this issue: the telescopic catheter-in-long sheath ...

A multiscale model of vascular function in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
, 2021 Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is caused by recurrent or unresolved pulmonary thromboemboli, leading to perfusion defects and increased arterial wave reflections. CTEPH treatment aims to reduce pulmonary arterial pressure and reestablish adequate lung perfusion, yet patients with distal lesions are inoperable by standard surgical

Perioperative optimization and right heart catheterization: what technique in which patient? [PDF]
, 2003 Recent years have seen the place of the pulmonary artery catheter in intensive care increasingly challenged, with one recent study reporting no difference in outcome in patients treated with or without a pulmonary artery catheter. However, this study has

A unique case of pulmonary artery catheter bleeding from the oximetry connection port
Revista Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2014 Pulmonary artery catheter is an invasive monitor usually placed in high-risk cardiac surgical patients to optimize the cardiac functions. We present this case of blood oozing from the oximetry connection port of the pulmonary artery catheter that ...

Tissue plasminogen activator dose and pulmonary artery pressure reduction in catheter directed thrombolysis of submassive pulmonary embolism. [PDF]
, 2019 PURPOSE:The purpose of this study is to assess the incremental effect of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) dose on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and bleeding during catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) of submassive pulmonary embolism (PE). MATERIALS

Pulmonary artery interventions after Norwood procedure: Does type or position of shunt predict need for intervention? [PDF]
, 2013 ObjectivesPulmonary artery stenosis is a potential complication after Norwood palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. It is unclear whether the shunt type or position in the Norwood procedure is associated with the risk of the development of ...
