2. 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").

3. Coronary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_catheterization

   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.

4. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_bypass_surgery

   The patient's head (not seen) is at the bottom. Coronary artery bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, pronounced "cabbage"), is a surgical procedure to treat coronary artery disease (CAD), the buildup of plaques in the arteries of the heart. It can relieve chest pain caused by CAD, slow the progression of CAD, and ...

5. Transradial catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transradial_catheterization

   Transradial catheterization is an endovascular procedure or catheterization procedure performed to diagnose and treat arterial disease (e.g., coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, etc.). Endovascular procedure can be performed achieving access in to body’s arterial system from either femoral artery (in groin), brachial artery ...

6. Fractional flow reserve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_flow_reserve

   Fractional flow reserve is defined as the pressure after (distal to) a stenosis relative to the pressure before the stenosis. [2] The result is an absolute number; an FFR of 0.80 means that a given stenosis causes a 20% drop in blood pressure. In other words, FFR expresses the maximal flow down a vessel in the presence of a stenosis compared to ...

7. History of invasive and interventional cardiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_invasive_and...

   The history of invasive cardiology begins with the development of cardiac catheterization in 1711, when Stephen Hales placed catheters into the right and left ventricles of a living horse. [ 1] Variations on the technique were performed over the subsequent century, with formal study of cardiac physiology being performed by Claude Bernard in the ...

   ICD-9-CM. 36.09, 00.66. [edit on Wikidata] Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure used to treat narrowing of the coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary artery disease. [2] The procedure is used to place and deploy coronary stents, a permanent wire-meshed tube, to open narrowed coronary ...
