PULMONARY-ARTERY CATHETERIZATION - THE RIGHT HEART SHOULD NOT BE LEFT OUT - A CASE-REPORT ANGIOLOGY Cook, D. J., Davis, S. F., Barr, J. A., Pearl, R. G. 1992; 43 (11): 952-956

Abstract

Tricuspid valve stenosis in the setting of endocarditis is associated with a high morbidity. Diagnostic approaches incorporate a high clinical index of suspicion, echocardiographic evidence, and inferences about hemodynamic data derived from pulmonary artery catheterization. As demonstrated by the case presented herein, inadequate initial evaluation of right-sided pressures delayed the diagnosis and treatment of prosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis.
