Abstract:
The widespread use of left atrial lines underscores the importance of left atrial pressure monitoring in open heart operations. We present a simple and safe method of intraoperative insertion of a left atrial line during an open heart operation. Foremost among the several advantages of this method is that there would no longer be any concern of postoperative bleeding after removal of the left atrial line.
