Biplanar Angiography through Swan-Ganz Catheters [PDF]
Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 1980 Twenty-eight patients had biplanar angiography performed through wedged Swan-Ganz Catheters. In only five cases were the catheter tips symmetrically placed within the vessels in both AP and lateral views. The value of performing angiography immediately after placement of a Swan-Ganz catheter is discussed.
