Abstract
In congenital heart disease, pressure-sensing wires provide an alternative method of obtaining important hemodynamic information when it cannot be obtained with traditional fluid-filled catheters. Here, we illustrate how pressure-sensing wires are vital for patients with univentricular heart physiology and an atrial stent in situ to prove candidacy for bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis.
