چکیده
A case of autopsy-documented ruptured chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve, secondary to flow-directed Swan-Ganz catheterization of the right side of the heart is presented. A possible mechanism is discussed and safeguards to prevent this complication are suggested.

متن کاملRuptured chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve due to nonpenetrating trauma. Echocardiographic findings.
A case of traumatic tricuspid insufficiency is presented. In the diagnosis of ruptured chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve, two-dimensional echocardiography was an essential diagnostic procedure, while M-mode echocardiography showed no specific findings. Ruptured chordae tendineae of the tricuspid valve were confirmed at operation.

This report describes a spectrum of M-mode and cross-sectional echocardiographic abnormalities in eight patients with infective endocarditis of the tricuspid valve. The M-mode echocardiogram of the tricuspid valve was abnormal in all but one patient in whom abnormal echoes were seen anterior to the tricuspid valve, in the right ventricular cavity and right ventricular outflow tract. Six patient...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional echocardiographic recognition of ruptured chordae tendineae.
Real-time, phased-array, two-dimensional echocardiographic studies identified ruptured chordae tendineae in five patients: four patients had a flail mitral valve and one had flail mitral and tricuspid valves. The characteristic abnormality was a rapid systolic motion of the involved leaflet beyond the line of valve closure into the atrium. The maximal abnormal systolic motion was greatest at th...
متن کاملThe Swan-Ganz catheter in the cardiac laboratory.
In I970, Swan and associates reported on their results in catheterization of the right heart with a soft, flow-directed, balloon-tipped catheter of their design. Using the 5F size catheter the pulmonary artery was rapidly and safely catheterized in 95 per cent of patients in intensive care situations without the aid of fluoroscopy. The availability of the Swan-Ganz catheter (Edwards Laboratorie...
