The left atrial catheter: its uses and complications.

B S Leitman1, D P Naidich, G McGuinness, D I McCauley.   

Abstract

The authors describe the radiographic appearance of the left atrial catheter, a widely used postsurgical intracardiac device. Recognition of the characteristic appearance of this catheter should be of value in detection of potential complications, including line fracture with resultant retention and/or embolization, infection, prosthetic valve dysfunction, and even cardiac tamponade.
