Simultaneous systemic (aortic) and pulmonary arterial pressure tracings. The aortic pressure recorded through a 5 Fr pigtail catheter in the aortic root measuring 105/64 mm Hg with a mean of 79 mm Hg. The pulmonary arterial pressure was recorded through the SL-0 sheath from the tip of the dilator measuring 52/23 mm Hg and a mean of 40 mm Hg.
