Estimation of pulmonary artery pressure from pulmonary vein wedge pressure

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1994
AbstractCorrelations between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein wedge pressures were investigated in 13 patients with atrial septal defect and 1 patient with Tetralogy of Fallot. Pulmonary vein wedge pressure wave form resembled that of pulmonary artery pressure, and the former lagged behind the latter by 70 to 110 msec (mean 88 ± 14) as observed by ...

Wedge Pressure Measurement in Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chest, 1974
Mean pulmonary capillary wedge absolute pressures relative to atmosphere were compared with effective wedge pressures in 19 patients with respiratory failure secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to determine whether a mean wedge or effective wedge pressure provided the most useful diagnostic information when intrathoracic pressure changes

Echocardiographic Estimates of Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure

New England Journal of Medicine, 1981
IN patients free of pulmonary venous occlusive disease or mitral-valve obstructive disease or both, the pulmonary artery wedge pressure reflects the left atrial pressure and thus the left ventricular filling pressure. Care of a critically ill patient with a cardiac disorder frequently requires measurement of the pulmonary artery wedge pressure by right-

Cardiac-Pulmonary Edema and Low Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure

Southern Medical Journal, 1979
We describe a patient who presented with acute massive pulmonary edema, clinically and on chest roentgenogram. Two hours later the patient became hypotensive and was found to have a low pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). The blood pressure returned to normal after administration of fluids.

The pulmonary venous wedge pressure in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1977
AbstractThe comparability of the main pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and the pulmonary venous wedge pressure (PVWP) was assessed during cardiac catheterization in 89 patients with pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) and increased pulmonary blood flow.

Pulmonary “Capillary” Wedge Pressure Not the Pressure in the Pulmonary Capillaries

Chest, 1991
In 1949, Hellems, Haynes, and Dexter proposed that the pressure in a catheter wedged so as to occlude a pulmonary artery was an "estimate" of the pressure in the pulmonary capillaries. Their report led to the designation of this pulmonary artery wedge pressure as the pulmonary "capillary" wedge pressure.

Pulmonary artery wedge pressures in congenital heart disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1977
AbstractThe bilateral measurement of pulmonary artery wedge pressure is essential in the cardiac catheterization evaluation of all patients with pulmonary artery hypertension. Five cases of pulmonary venous obstruction are presented, 4 of whom had additional intracardiac defects.

Erroneous interpretation of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in massive pulmonary embolism

Critical Care Medicine, 1983
Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (WP) values obtained after catheterization of a pulmonary artery (PA) totally occluded by thrombus may be erroneously interpreted. The left lower lobe PA was catheterized in 13 anesthetized dogs. Measurements of mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) and WP were performed before and after total occlusion of the PA by a

Pulmonary artery pressure versus pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and central venous pressure in shock

Resuscitation, 1982
Evidence is presented from 43 dogs and 30 patients that under conditions of severe hemorrhagic, traumatic or septic shock, there may be partial obstruction of the pulmonary microcirculation due to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) particularly in the pulmonary venules.
