Endovascular treatment of pulmonary artery aneurysm: Single case experience
Radiology Case Reports, 2023 A peripheral pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a dilatation involving all 3-vessel wall layers (the intima, media, and adventitia) of a distal pulmonary artery. It represents a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. There are only some reviews

Idiopathic Epicardial Ventricular Arrhythmias: Diagnosis and Ablation Technique from the Aortic Sinus of Valsalva [PDF]
, 2005 Idiopathic outflow tract arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardias or symptomatic premature ventricular contractions; OT-VT/PVCs) can originate from the left ventricular (LV) epicardium (Epi-VT/PVCs), and radiofrequency (RF) energy applications from the ...

Effect of abnormal right heart structures on the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary Circulation, 2018 The diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) requires a right heart catheterization (RHC) that reveals a mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥ 25 mmHg. The pulmonary artery catheter traverse the right atrium and ventricle on its way to the pulmonary artery ...

Pulmonary artery catheter induced pulmonary haemorrhage
BMJ Case Reports, 2009 Since its introduction three decades ago, the pulmonary artery (PA) catheter has brought insights into pathophysiology of many diseases enabling intensivists to treat critical conditions much more precisely and securely. PA indications are widening, and those working in an intensive care environment feel more secure in handling critical conditions with

Use of a right ventricular continuous flow pump to validate the distensible model of the pulmonary vasculature [PDF]
, 2019 In the pulmonary circulation, resistive and compliant properties overlap in the same vessels. Resistance varies nonlinearly with pressure and flow; this relationship is driven by the elastic properties of the vessels. Linehan et al. (1982) correlated the
