  • Title: Transesophageal echocardiographic diagnosis of intracardiac entrapment of a Swan-Ganz catheter in open heart operation.
    Author: Wang HJ, Wang SS, Liau CS.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 2004 Mar; 17(3):277-9. PubMed ID: 14981428.
    Abstract:
    A Swan-Ganz catheter entrapment by a suture in the right atrial wall during open heart operation is presented. The diagnosis of the suture entrapment of the Swan-Ganz catheter to the right atrial wall was established by direct observation of the specific movement pattern of the cardiac structures when manual traction was applied from outside by a transesophageal echocardiographic examination.
