Abstract
Pulmonary artery rupture is a rare but often fatal complication of right heart catheterization. We present a case of a ruptured pulmonary artery caused by a Cournand catheter in a high‐risk patient with pulmonary hypertension on oral anticoagulation with successful emergency embolization with gelatine foam.
