Swan-Ganz entrapment during cardiac surgery – a case report
Tóm tắt
Inability to withdraw a Swan-Ganz catheter as a result of its intracardiac entrapment is a rare but serious complication. In a normal intracardiac course, the catheter tends to rest against the antero-lateral wall of the right atrium where the catheter may be caught by the suture during cannulation for Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB). Entrapment of a Swan-Ganz catheter by the left atriotomy suture is described in this case report.
