Preferred Label : catheterization, Swan-Ganz;
MeSH definition : Placement of a balloon-tipped catheter into the pulmonary artery through the antecubital,
subclavian, and sometimes the femoral vein. It is used to measure pulmonary artery
pressure and pulmonary artery wedge pressure which reflects left atrial pressure and
left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. The catheter is threaded into the right atrium,
the balloon is inflated and the catheter follows the blood flow through the tricuspid
valve into the right ventricle and out into the pulmonary artery.;
MeSH synonym : swan-ganz catheterization; swan ganz catheterization; catheterization, swan ganz;
MeSH hyponym : pulmonary artery catheterization; Artery Catheterization, Pulmonary; Artery Catheterizations, Pulmonary; Catheterizations, Pulmonary Artery; Pulmonary Artery Catheterizations; Catheterization, Pulmonary Artery;
