Hemodynamic consequences of PEEP in seated neurological patients--implications for paradoxical air embolism.

In order to better understand the hemodynamic consequences of the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients in the seated position, 11 patients undergoing neurosurgical operations were monitored with radial arterial and thermistor-tipped Swan-Ganz catheters both before and during 10-cm H2O PEEP. Significant (P less than 0.05) reductions in cardiac output (15%), stroke volume (1...

Endovascular treatment of PA pseudoaneurysm caused by Swan-Ganz catheter

The following case report describes a complication of Swan-Ganz catheterization and its endovascular treatment with a single coil. Application of this particular catheter in the pulmonary artery during cardiac surgery may lead to mechanical perforation and creation of an extravascular sac, which is called a pseudoaneurysm. There are different methods that lead to tamponade or closure of the lea...

Pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage from a pulmonary artery false aneurysm after Swan-Ganz catheterization in a thoracic aortic aneurysm patient: a case report

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 with a new lung mass after PA catheterization. We present a case of sudden-onset pulmonary alveolar hemorrhage during cardiovascular surgery due...

Pulmonary artery rupture as a complication of Swan-Ganz catheter application. Diagnosis and endovascular treatment: a single centre's experience

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). This paper presents two distinct forms of iatrogenic PAR treated endovascularly using different vascular devices. AIM To evaluate the effectiveness o...
