During a routine coronary revascularization procedure in a 51-year-old man, venous return was suddenly interrupted. The venous cannula was rapidly removed, revealing the pulmonary artery catheter wrapped around it. The catheter also had entered the lumen of the cannula, and the inflated balloon completely obstructed the venous return. The prompt removal and reinsertion of the venous cannula resulted in uneventful recovery of the patient.

D002407	Catheterization, Swan-Ganz	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.
