Imaging of implants on chest radiographs: a radiological perspective. K Burney, N Thayur, SA Husain, RP Martin, P Wilde. Radiography of Cardiac Conduction Devices: A Comprehensive Review.The second X-ray shows adequate position of the catheter tip in the left pulmonary artery after repositioning. The images show anincorrect placement of the Swan Ganz catheter on the left with the tip in the left upper lobe pulmonary artery branch. Potential complications are intracardiac knotting, pulmonary infarction, pulmonary artery perforation, arrhythmias, cardiac perforation, and placement in the inferior vena cava. There is also an increase of minimally invasive procedures to replace heart valves. With the advent of implantable cardioverterdefibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapy, devices have become more complex. The balloon is inflated within the left or right main pulmonary artery to measure the capillary wedge pressure and pulmonary artery pressure. The number of implanted cardiovascular devices has dramatically increased in recent years. The Swan GAnz catheter is a flow directed balloon tip catheter. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.Radiology plays an important role in the initial assessment and follow-up of these devices. There is also an increase of minimally invasive procedures to replace heart valves.Īn overview is presented of common cardiovascular devices and procedures. The number of implanted cardiovascular devices has dramatically increased in recent years.
