Selective catheterization of the main pulmonary artery via the percutaneous route using a pulmonary-artery-seeking catheter was successful in 98.4% of 122 consecutive pulmonary angiographic studies in 114 patients. Complications were comparable to those encountered in other studies. Myocardial perforation, a frequently reported complication, did not occur, a factor attributed to the "pigtail" design of the catheter. This catheter was found to offer a distinct advantage in performing percutaneous selective pulmonary arteriography.
在114例患者连续进行的122次肺血管造影研究中，使用肺动脉探寻导管经皮选择性插入主肺动脉成功率为98.4%。并发症与其他研究中所遇到的相当。心肌穿孔这一经常报道的并发症未发生，这归因于导管的“猪尾”设计。发现这种导管在进行经皮选择性肺血管造影时具有明显优势。
