2. Pulmonary artery catheter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_artery_catheter

   A pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), also known as a Swan-Ganz catheter or right heart catheter, is a balloon-tipped catheter that is inserted into a pulmonary artery in a procedure known as pulmonary artery catheterization or right heart catheterization.

3. Cardiac catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_catheterization

   Cardiac catheterization (heart cath) is the insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart.This is done both for diagnostic and interventional purposes. A common example of cardiac catheterization is coronary catheterization that involves catheterization of the coronary arteries for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarctions ("heart attacks").

4. Coronary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_catheterization

   A coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood filled chambers of the heart using a catheter. It is performed for both diagnostic and interventional (treatment) purposes. Coronary catheterization is one of the several cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures.

5. Pulmonary arterial hypertension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_arterial...

   PAH is definitively diagnosed with a right heart catheterization showing a mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 20 mmHg at rest, with a pulmonary vascular resistance being 3 Woods Units or greater (indicative of pulmonary hypertension in the pre-capillary vasculature; the arteries and arterioles), and a pulmonary artery wedge pressure ...

6. Mitral stenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_stenosis

   Another method of measuring the severity of mitral stenosis is the simultaneous left and right heart chamber catheterization. The right heart catheterization (commonly known as Swan-Ganz catheterization) gives the physician the mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, which is a reflection of the left atrial pressure. The left heart ...

7. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_pulmonary...

   Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR), also known as percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI), is the replacement of the pulmonary valve via catheterization through a vein. It is a significantly less invasive procedure in comparison to open heart surgery and is commonly used to treat conditions such as pulmonary atresia. [2] [3]

9. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   Purse string sutures are placed in the aorta to prepare the insertions of the cannula into the aorta, and a catheter which temporarily arrests the heart using a solution high in potassium. Another purse string is placed in the right atrium for the venous cannula. Once the cannulas and the catheter are placed, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is ...
