Operative insertion of a transvenous left atrial pressure monitoring line

We describe a technique for the insertion of a left atrial pressure monitoring line during open heart operations in infants. The procedure requires central venous cannulation with a long catheter, followed by intraoperative placement of the catheter tip through the interatrial septum into the left a...

Summary:We describe a technique for the insertion of a left atrial pressure monitoring line during open heart operations in infants. The procedure requires central venous cannulation with a long catheter, followed by intraoperative placement of the catheter tip through the interatrial septum into the left atrium. The technique has been used successfully in 35 infants.
