The mean arterial pressure on presentation was 137.6 torr (range, 116 to 167 torr), and it remained at approximately 115 torr for the next 72 hours. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The present case involved a 68-year-old woman. 5 This would traditionally have been treated invasively via a surgical lobectomy6,7 before the development of percutaneous embolisation techniques using coils. 8-11 This article presents a method of controlling [revespcardiol.org]

Minor patchy opacity is present in the left lung base. The remainder of the lungs and pleural spaces are clear. Swan-Ganz catheter now lies in the left pulmonary artery. [radiopaedia.org]

Occlusion of this vessel prevents perfusion of the downstream lung parenchyma, thus it could result in death. The Swan-Ganz catheter should be slowly removed from the insertion site as quickly as possible. [faculty.ccp.edu]
