Accuracy of Swan‒Ganz catheterization‐based assessment of right ventricular function: Validation study using high‐fidelity micromanometry‐derived values as reference [PDF]
Right ventricular (RV) function critically affects the outcomes of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Pressure wave analysis using Swan‒Ganz catheterization (SG‐cath) allows for the calculation of indices of RV function.

Stenting as a Rescue Treatment of a Pulmonary Artery False Aneurysm Caused by Swan-Ganz Catheterization [PDF]
Pulmonary vascular injury is a rare but life-threatening complication of Swan-Ganz catheterization. We report an 82-year old patient who underwent right heart catheterization by a balloon-tipped catheter because of suspected pulmonary hypertension. After

Pacing in left bundle-branch block during swan-ganz catheterization [PDF]
To the Editor. —We read with interest the recent article by Morris and colleagues 1 that reported a fairly low rate of developing complete heart block (CHB) during Swan-Ganz (SG) catheterization in patients with left bundle-branch block (LBBB). We feel that this is an important finding since several sources, including recent advanced cardiac life ...

Tachycardia-polyuria syndrome after swan-ganz catheterization in liver transplant patient - A case report - [PDF]
Background Tachycardia-polyuria syndrome is characterized by polyuria occurring because of tachycardia with a heart rate of ≥ 120 beats/min lasting ≥ 30 min. We report such a case occurring after swan-ganz catheterization.

Pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage from a pulmonary artery false aneurysm after Swan-Ganz catheterization in a thoracic aortic aneurysm patient: a case report [PDF]
Pulmonary artery (PA) rupture caused by a PA Swan-Ganz catheter is a rare complication but remains fatal in almost 50% of cases. False aneurysm of the PA is a rare presentation of PA rupture and should be considered as a possible diagnosis in a patient ...

Assessment of Right Ventricular Pressure in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: Comparison of Diagnostic Modalities and Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty Outcomes [PDF]
Background/Objectives:: Right ventricular (RV) pressure assessment is crucial in both the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).

Introduction: The placement of a Swan-Ganz catheter into the pulmonary artery may lead to a number of complications (2–17%). In less than 0.2% of cases Swan-Ganz catheterization results in serious vascular damage – pulmonary artery rupture (PAR).

Ventricular Arrhythmias During Swan-Ganz Catheterization of the Critically III
The incidence of ventricular arrhythmias in critically-ill patients during bedside right-sided heart catheterization with a flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter was determined. Twenty-nine of 60 catheterizations (48 percent) were associated with premature ventricular contractions and 20 (33 percent) were associated with ventricular tachycardia.

Echocardiographic and hemodynamic determinants of right coronary artery flow reserve and phasic flow pattern in advanced non-ischemic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background In patients with advanced non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NIC), right-sided cardiac disturbances has prognostic implications. Right coronary artery (RCA) flow pattern and flow reserve (CFR) are not well known in this setting.
