title: A catheter-tip capacitance pressure transducer.
abstract: A simple miniature capacitance pressure transducer is described. The operational characteristics of the device when mounted on the tip of a 6.3 F catheter are discussed and results of in vivo trials illustrated, using a commercially available catheter-tip pressure transducer for comparison.
