  • Title: Successful application of a PressureWire retrogradely across an ATS prosthetic aortic valve to diagnose constrictive pericarditis.
    Author: Palmer S, Mariani JA, Newcomb A, Stokes MB, Burns AT.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Revasc Med; 2012; 13(5):289-91. PubMed ID: 22634335.
    Abstract:
    Assessment of the left ventricular pressure measured across an aortic valve prosthesis is occasionally necessary when noninvasive imaging and Doppler echocardiographic data are inconclusive or differ from the clinical findings for specific scenarios, such as diagnosing constrictive or restrictive physiology. We present a case in which we safely and effectively replicate the previous successful application of a PressureWire in diagnosing constrictive pericarditis in a patient with a bileafltet mechanical aortic and mitral valves.
