Pulmonary venous wedge pressure provides a safe and accurate estimate of pulmonary arterial pressure in children with shunt‐dependent pulmonary blood flow

Abstract: Pulmonary venous wedge pressure provides a safe and accurate means of estimating pulmonary arterial pressure in children with shunt-dependent pulmonary blood flow. The slightly lower pressures seen on direct measurement compared with the reverse pulmonary vein may reflect impairment of flow across the shunt by the catheter.

“…Hence, P PA was evaluated by means of the pulmonary venous wedge pressure (PVWP). Although PVWP overall provides an accurate estimate of P PA , 9 1 to 3 mmHg uncertainty remains. Moreover, the high velocity and often turbulent flow characterizing the shunt region may cause MRI signal loss, leading to about 10% uncertainty in Q P measurement.…”

“…If branch PA pressures were not available, mean pulmonary venous wedge pressure was used and averaged across all pulmonary veins where data were available. 5 , 6 For patients with RVPA, ΔP is the systolic PA pressure or systolic pulmonary venous wedge pressure subtracted from the systolic RV pressure.…”

“…The relation between PVWP and p a v is investigated in for single ventricle patients and in for children with shunt‐dependent pulmonary blood flow. Good agreement between PVWP and p a v is reported in where differences of −0.15 ± 1.31 mmHg are observed for patients with BT shunt not affected by pulmonary hypertension.…”
