Arrhythmias during intracardiac catheterization.
T HE PATIENT who undergoes cardiac catheterization may develop an arrhythmia. It would be useful to know who is most susceptible, how hazardous the arrhythmia may be and what can be done about it. Cournand' mentioned premature contractions and runs of ventricular tachycardia as the most important complication in the procedure. Two cases were quoted in which death may have been the result of ect...
متن کاملShifting of puncture site in the fossa ovalis during radiofrequency catheter ablation: intracardiac echocardiography-guided transseptal left heart catheterization.
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) serves as an adjunct to fluoroscopy for electrophysiological procedures by identifying critical anatomic landmarks and confirming catheter-endocardial contact. In the present study, we investigated the usefulness of ICE for radiofrequency catheter ablation. ICE was utilized to guide transseptal puncture in 19 patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablati...
متن کاملRole of right heart catheterization.
especially in medical patients with respiratory failure. Because of these data limitations, we do not believe that undue reliance on formulas and guidelines alone will prevent nutritional complications. Our case report illustrated the problem ofweaning difficulties due to nutritionally associated hypercapnia in a patient population not commonly thought to be susceptible to this problem. We feel...

متن کاملKnotting of intracardiac flow-directed balloon catheter. Simple surgical method of removal.
A complete knot occurred in a 7F flow-directed balloon catheter inserted through the right internal jugular vein. The patient was intubated and placed under positive pressure ventilation. After gaining surgical exposure of the venipuncture site, a purse-string of Prolene 4--0 suture was placed around it. The patient was placed in the Trendelenburg position and the knotted catheter withdrawn, wh...
