To assess the incidence of aseptic thrombotic endocardial vegetations (TEV) after pulmonary artery catheterization with Swan-Ganz catheters we reviewed all autopsy reports for a two-year period in our hospital. In 413 autopsies there were five instances of aseptic TEV: 3 in 88 patients with Swan-Ganz catheters, 1 in 120 patients with central venous catheters, and 1 in the 205 patients without central vascular catheters. The incidence of TEV is significantly greater in patients with Swan-Ganz catheters than in other patients.
为评估使用Swan-Ganz导管进行肺动脉导管插入术后无菌性血栓性心内膜赘生物（TEV）的发生率，我们回顾了我院两年期间所有的尸检报告。在413例尸检中，有5例无菌性TEV：88例使用Swan-Ganz导管的患者中有3例，120例使用中心静脉导管的患者中有1例，205例未使用中心血管导管的患者中有1例。使用Swan-Ganz导管的患者中TEV的发生率明显高于其他患者。
