(A): Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed dilated right ventricle, TAPSE: 17 mm and AF 20%, left ventricle with concentric remodeling, LVEF 55%, tricuspid valve with mild insufficiency and maximum velocity of 3.17 m/s. Dilated vein cava with a diameter of 2.1 cm with an inspiratory collapse of 40%. (B): 7-Fr Swan-Ganz flotation catheter within the main right pulmonary artery.
