A Swan-Ganz catheter, employed for haemodynamic monitoring, was put to a use not described previously. Pulmonary angiography was performed through the catheter at the bedside with minimal discomfort or complication. In this case it was possible to determine that a lung abscess was responsible for a translucency in the right lower lobe. This was subsequently confirmed at postmortem examination.
一根用于血流动力学监测的 Swan-Ganz 导管被用于此前未描述过的用途。在床边通过该导管进行了肺血管造影，患者不适或并发症极少。在该病例中，得以确定右下叶的透亮区是由肺脓肿所致。这一诊断随后在尸检中得到证实。
