A self-guiding catheter enables right heart and pulmonary artery catheterization and occlusion in dogs without fluoroscopy, relying on pressure recordings for localization.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Summary1. A self-guiding catheter has been described for placement in the right heart or pulmonary arteries of dogs. 2. This technic does not require a fluoroscope and localization is determined from the pressure recording. 3. The same catheter has likewise been used routinely for occlusion of the left pulmonary artery.
