The pulmonary artery vent is a plastic sump catheter that is introduced into the main pulmonary artery through a purse-string suture and connected via a roller pump to the venous reservoir of the heart-lung perfusion machine.Placement and removal require only a few minutes.ata relating to the hemodynamic efficaciousness and mechanism of action of a pulmonary artery catheter or vent used for left ventricular venting during cardiac operations are presented.
