The diagnosis of the suture entrapment of the Swan-Ganz catheter to the right atrial wall was established by direct observation of the specific movement pattern of the cardiac structures when manual traction was applied from outside by a transesophageal echocardiographic examination.[SDGs]SDG3aged; anamnesis; anatomy; article; cannulation; cardioplegia; case report; clinical examination; diagnostic procedure; dyspnea; female; heart atrium; heart catheterization; heart surgery; human; infusion; postoperative complication; suture; Swan Ganz catheter; thorax disease; thorax radiography; transesophageal echocardiography; Aged; Aortic Valve Stenosis; Cardiac Surgical Procedures; Cardiopulmonary Bypass; Catheterization, Swan-Ganz; Echocardiography; Echocardiography, Transesophageal; Female; Foreign-Body Migration; Heart Atria; Heart Valve Prosthesis Implantation; Humans; Intraoperative Complications; Reoperation; Suture TechniquesTransesophageal echocardiographic diagnosis of intracardiac entrapment of a Swan-Ganz catheter in open heart operationjournal article10.1016/j.echo.2003.10.026149814282-s2.0-3042748327
