“…Pulmonary artery (PA) catheterization by Swann-Ganz catheter for monitoring cardiac filling pressure has been used clinically for 50 years [18,19]. Described complications are arrhythmias, knotting of the catheter [20], perforations of superior vena cava, right atrium, RV [5,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and pulmonary artery [18,21,22].…”

Cardiac trauma caused by Swann-Ganz catheter may very rarely cause cardiac perforation, tamponade and right ventricular pseudoaneurysm. In contrast to left ventricular equivalants, pseudoaneurysms of the RV have a weak tendency to rupture. Its impact on patient outcomes should be assesed very carefully depending on its size, filling rate/capacity. It is possible not to operate the patient and follow progression of RV pseudoaneurysm by clinical and echocardiographic findings. This case is a good sample for it and describes the lifespan of a small RV pseudoaneurysm. It is not only the unique right ventricle pseudoaneurysm due to cardiac trauma caused by Swann Ganz catheter, but medically treated case without surgery and recovered completely.

“…However, in the case described above the LMA served to shorten, not prolong, the hypoxic insult of a failed intubation in a multiple injured patient. The LMA has been successfully used in the pre-hospital care of injured patients [2] and has been advocated as a useful adjunct to airway management before crycothyroidotomy with cervical spine immobility [3]. In our experience, in spite of the conclusion of Gabbott and Sasada, the LMA may have applications in multiple injured patients such as in the case of failed intubation while a n alternative method of securing the airway is being established.…”
