Overview
Swan-Ganz catheter can be used in the diagnosis of VSD. Discrepancies in oxygen readings with a much higher oxygenation in the pulmonary artery may indicate a left-to-right shunt
Other Diagnostic Studies
- ASwan-Ganz catheter that measures oxygen saturations upstream in the right atrium and downstream in the pulmonary artery can be used as a diagnostic method when suspecting apost-infarct VSD. Large discrepancies in oxygen readings with a much higher oxygenation in the pulmonary artery may indicate a left-to-right shunt.
- In some cases, a Swan-Ganz catheter can be used to temporarily close a post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) in order to stabilize the hemodynamic status of the patient until surgery is available [1]
