Transcatheter embolization using isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate can be an effective early management strategy for Swan-Ganz catheter-induced pulmonary artery rupture.
May support embolization as salvage in Swan-Ganz rupture; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
An 84-year-old patient with severe aortic valve stenosis suffered Swan-Ganz catheter-induced massive pulmonary hemorrhage. Immediate therapeutic embolism of the segmental artery by using a liquid, tissue-adhesive, occlusive agent (isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate) controlled bleeding.
