iatrogenic pulmonary artery rupture during Swan Ganz Catheter placement a novel therapeutic approach
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2013Co-Authors: Ankur Kalra, Stephen B Heitner, Simon TopalianAbstract:Pulmonary artery rupture (PAR) is a rare but deadly complication (incidence of 0.03-0.2% of all PA cannulations), with mortality in the region of 70%. We report a case of an 88-year-old woman with iatrogenic PAR as a result of Swan-Ganz Catheter placement. A rapid successful isolation and occlusion of the culprit PA branch via the deployment of an Amplatzer Vascular Plug (AGA Medical Corporation, North Plymouth, MN) was performed. To our knowledge, this is the first case report where this device has been used as therapy in PAR.

We report a case of an 88-year-old woman with iatrogenic PAR as a result of Swan–Ganz Catheter placement. A rapid successful isolation and occlusion of the culprit PA branch via the deployment of an Amplatzer® Vascular Plug (AGA Medical Corporation, North Plymouth, MN) was performed.

immediate transCatheter embolization of Swan Ganz Catheter induced pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm
Chest, 1997Co-Authors: Prasanta Karak, Richard Dimick, Kay Hamrick, Marc Schwartzberg, Souheil SaddekniAbstract:Digital subtraction angiography is an indispensable complement to cut film studies for the detection of pulmonary artery injury. Immediate transCatheter embolization of Catheter-induced pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm is a safe, minimally invasive, fast, and cost-effective alternative to surgical treatment.

Swan Ganz Catheter induced pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm formation three case reports and a review of the literature
Chest, 2001Co-Authors: Maurice R Poplausky, G Rozenblit, John H Rundback, Gastone A Crea, Shekher Maddineni, Robert LeonardoAbstract:The use of Swan-Ganz Catheters has increased tremendously since they were first introduced in 1970. Their ability to give vital hemodynamic measurements in critically ill patients makes their use invaluable when providing quality medical care. The formation of pulmonary artery (PA) pseudoaneurysm from a Swan-Ganz Catheter-induced perforation of the PA is a rare but potentially fatal complication of Swan-Ganz Catheter use. Three case presentations and a review of the literature are presented.
