PCVP measurement may aid hemodynamic assessment; leaves open accuracy versus direct LA pressure in varied conditions.
Observational
Describes a novel transbronchial method for simultaneous measurement of left atrial and pulmonary capillary venous pressures in conscious patients with mitral stenosis.
Epps et al. (1953) conducted an observational in Mitral valve disease. Transbronchial left atrial puncture and simultaneous PCVP measurement was evaluated. A method was developed to simultaneously record left atrial and pulmonary capillary venous pressures via transbronchial puncture in conscious patients with mitral valve disease.
