Entry term(s) cateterismo de la arteria pulmonar
cateterización Swan-Ganz
Scope note: Colocación en la arteria pulmonar a través de las venas antecubital, subclavia, y en ocasiones femoral de un catéter con un globo en su punta. Se usa para medir la presión en la arteria pulmonar y la presión de enclavamiento que refleja la presión de la aurícula izquierda y la presión diastólica final del ventrículo izquierdo. El catéter se introduce en la aurícula derecha, se infla el balón o globo y el catéter sigue al flujo sanguíneo a través de la válvula tricúspide hacia el ventrículo derecho y la arteria pulmonar.

Scope note: 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.
