Right heart catheter advancement from right atrium (RA) to right ventricle (RV) is frequently difficult in patients with large and geometrically deformed RAs. We describe a simple technique, using no additional equipment, that significantly improves the probability of successful passage of right heart catheter from RA to RV.
