Swan-Ganz catheter-induced massive hemoptysis and pulmonary artery false aneurysm

W C Feng et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1990 Oct.

Abstract

Swan-Ganz catheter-induced massive hemoptysis and later pulmonary artery false aneurysm occurred in a patient with prosthetic mitral regurgitation. This patient was successfully managed by double-lumen endotracheal intubation, control of pulmonary hypertension, reversal of anticoagulation, mitral valve re-replacement, and transcatheter embolization. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
