Bedside angiography of the lung by Swan-Ganz catheter. A case report. 1979

J J de Lange, and L G Thijs, and C Pearce

A Swan-Ganz catheter, employed for haemodynamic monitoring, was put to a use not described previously. Pulmonary angiography was performed through the catheter at the bedside with minimal discomfort or complication. In this case it was possible to determine that a lung abscess was responsible for a translucency in the right lower lobe. This was subsequently confirmed at postmortem examination.
