4.6 Cordella Sensor Implantation
1. The target location for the Cordella Sensor is at the downturn of the
right PA (highlighted in the figure below for a representative typical
PA anatomy). The location can be defined by the overlapping region
of the main right PA trunk and the downturn as illustrated below.
The distal radiopaque marker bands on the Sensor should be within
the highlighted area upon Sensor deployment. Anterior-Posterior
imaging is recommended for proper anatomical visualization.
2. Advance the Cordella Sensor to the target area using the Torque
Handle to navigate through the heart to the right pulmonary artery.
3. Once in the optimal position, the Cordella Sensor has three (3)
radiopaque marker bands to help identify rotational position of
the Sensor. Rotate the Cordella Sensor using the Torque Handle as
necessary to ensure the Sensor is anterior facing as shown below:
4. Once in target deployment position (Sensor body at RPA downturn,
anterior facing), deploy the Cordella Sensor by detaching and pulling
the release wire cap, then fully removing the release wires. Release
wire cap and wires may be discarded.
5. Once the Cordella Sensor is deployed, unscrew the torque luer to
disconnect. Hold the handle in a stable position within the palm of
the hand.
