AbstractA Swan-Ganz catheter entrapment by a suture in the right atrial wall during open heart operation is presented. The diagnosis of the suture entrapment of the Swan-Ganz catheter to the right atrial wall was established by direct observation of the specific movement pattern of the cardiac structures when manual traction was applied from outside by a transesophageal echocardiographic examination.
