  • 75 Amplatz is in IR
  1. Place Glowtape under patient, slightly left of spine, mid chest
  2. Right groin access with micropuncture and ultrasound
  3. Amplatz wire inserted in micropuncture sheath
  4. 7 and 9 French dilators
  5. 12 French Fast Cath
  6. Swan inserted for full Right Heart Cath (.025 wire used if needed to get to PA)
  7. Dr. Herr prefers Left PA for the device
  8. Pulmonary Arteriogram for anatomy and placement planning(Glowtape provides reference point)
  9. Open device, flush wire lumen, and whisk in saline for 10-30 seconds
  10. Insert device and advance to PA
  11. Device is deployed, delivery system removed, Steelcore pulled back to common PA
  12. Swan advanced over steelcore to right PA for calibration numbers
  13. Cardiomems calibrated
  14. Sheath pulled manual pressure only.
