Ventricular asystole during pulmonary artery catheter insertion.
669 September 2015 A the overall pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) use has decreased, it remains a valuable tool in select patients. PAC insertion may result in ventricular or supraventricular dysrhythmias due to contact of the catheter with the cardiac chamber walls. The use of balloon-tipped catheters during insertion serves to increase the catheter tip surface area, thereby mitigating applied ...

or bundle of His. Blockage of both the right and left bundle branches would be tantamount to block at these locations. This is the well-established concept of bilateral bundle-branch block.1-3 It highlights a hazard inherent in catheterization of the ventricle opposite that which is already the site of bundle-branch block. Since the advent of cardiac catheterization, numerous reports have been ...
متن کاملComplications of pulmonary artery catheterization in the care of critically ill patients. A prospective study.
In order to evaluate the incidence and the significance of complications resulting from the use of flow--directed, balloon--tipped catheters to monitor critically ill patients, we made a prospective study of 116 pulmonary artery catheterizations. Indications for catheterization included shock, pulmonary edema, or hemodynamic instability following surgery. Arrhythmias, including premature atrial...
متن کاملRight bundle branch block during transvenous ventricular pacing.
Cardiac pacing through a transvenous catheter located in the right ventricle usually produces a pattern of left bundle branch block (LBBB). When right bundle branch block (RBBB) occurs during apparent right ventricular pacing, a complication (perforation or malposition of the catheter) has usually occurred. In the patient reported here, uncomplicated right ventricular transvenous pacing produce...
متن کاملComplete atrioventricular block induced during left heart catheterization.
Complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) during cardiac catheterization is a rare complication. We describe a patient with preexisting complete right bundle branch block who developed CAVB during left-sided cardiac catheterization. CAVB was induced when a left-sided catheter was passed through the aortic valve. We speculate that the patient's His bundle was injured by mechanical compression. Phys...
