Right Heart Catheters

Right heart catheterization was the initial type of cardiac catheterization introduced by Werner Forssmann in 1929, who did self-catheterization. But later, with development of coronary interventions, it became less commonly done. Now there is a renewed interest as it is useful in the evaluation of pulmonary hypertension and heart failure as well as in congenital heart diseases.
Though the catheter used by Forssmann was a ureteral catheter, dedicated right heart catheters came into use later. Cournand catheter is a right heart diagnostic catheter named after the Nobel laureate André Cournand, who shared the Nobel Prize with Dickinson Richards and Werner Forssmann, in 1956.
