Rasmussen's aneurysm occurs in this structure. High pressure in this non-penile structure can be treated by PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra or inhibitors of endothelin-1 receptors.
Rasmussen's aneurysm occurs in this structure. High pressure in this non-penile structure can be treated by PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra or inhibitors of endothelin-1 receptors. The wedge pressure is measured in this structure, which can be probed with a balloon-tipped catheter named for Swan-Ganz. Stenosis of the valve leading into this structure is a characteristic sign in the Tetralogy of Fallot. Unusually, this structure normally has a pressure of only 14 millimeters of mercury. It originates from the (*) semilunar valve. This blood vessel receives flow from the vena cavae after it is pumped by the right side of the heart. Unlike the aorta, this artery is usually labelled blue. For 10 points, name this artery which carries deoxygenated blood and flows from the heart to the lungs.
