Definition
English
:
Placement of a balloon-tipped
catheter
into the
pulmonary artery
through the antecubital, subclavian, and sometimes the
femoral vein
. It is used to measure
pulmonary artery
pressure
and
pulmonary artery
wedge
pressure
which reflects left
atrial pressure
and left ventricular end-diastolic
pressure
. The
catheter
is threaded into the right atrium, the balloon is inflated and the
catheter
follows the blood flow through the
tricuspid valve
into the right ventricle and out into the
pulmonary artery.
