Core Tip	Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is an efficacious adjunct to pressure waveform guidance for guiding appropriate pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) placement. With the required equipment and expertise, TTE is a rapid and safe tool for confirming whether the PAC is placed too far (the PAC balloon seen beyond the proximal RPA) or not far enough (the body of the PAC seen in the right ventricle but the PAC balloon not seen in the main PA or right PA). This application may assist in reducing complications related to PA rupture or PAC induced arrhythmias.
