While the incidence of complications is infrequent, some of the complications can carry severe morbidity and mortality risks. In addition to universal complications associated with central line placement, some additional pulmonary artery catheter complications include dysrhythmias (most common), catheter knotting, cardiac valve injury, pulmonary artery rupture, development of complete heart block in a patient with preexisting left bundle branch block, pulmonary thromboembolism or air embolism, bacteremia, endocarditis, and sepsis.
