  • Title: Technique for percutaneous pulmonary arterial catheterization in conscious dogs.
    Author: Henderson RA, Dillon AR, Brawner WR, Wilson SG, Hanrahan LA.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1985 Jul; 46(7):1538-9. PubMed ID: 4026036.
    Abstract:
    A technique was developed to allow percutaneous placement and exchange of pulmonary arterial catheters in conscious dogs. Seven dogs were catheterized weekly for 5 weeks, using a 10-gauge over-the-needle cannula. A No. 7 F flow-directed catheter was passed through the cannula to measure right heart and pulmonary arterial pressures and to calculate cardiac output. The flow-directed catheter was removed and replaced with an arteriographic catheter, and a pulmonary arteriogram was performed. Placement in alternate jugular or saphenous veins each week resulted in successful catheterizations in all dogs evaluated.
