- Using a Swan-Ganz catheter to measure oxygen saturations upstream in the right atrium and downstream in the pulmonary artery can be used as a diagnostic method when suspecting a post-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), this way we can stabilize the hemodynamic status of the patient until surgery is available [1]
