Abstract
Intraoperative placement of catheters to monitor pulmonary artery pressure and cardiac output by oximetry can easily be accomplished under direct vision. The insertion through a saphenous vein cutdown assures a much safer removal, eliminating the risk of bleeding, tamponade, and catheter entrapment.
