2. Cardiac catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_catheterization

   Procedure. "Cardiac catheterization" is a general term for a group of procedures. Access to the heart is obtained through a peripheral artery or vein. Commonly, this includes the radial artery, internal jugular vein, and femoral artery / vein. Each blood vessel has its advantages and disadvantages.

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. 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 ...

   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 ...

6. Instantaneous wave-free ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instantaneous_wave-free_ratio

   The instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR, sometimes referred to as the instant wave-free ratio or instant flow reserve) is a diagnostic tool used to assess whether a stenosis is causing a limitation of blood flow in coronary arteries with subsequent ischemia. iFR is performed during cardiac catheterisation (angiography) using invasive coronary pressure wires which are placed in the coronary ...

7. Interventional cardiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_cardiology

   Interventional cardiology. Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter based treatment of structural heart diseases. Andreas Gruentzig is considered the father of interventional cardiology after the development of angioplasty by interventional radiologist Charles Dotter.

8. Catheterization laboratory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheterization_laboratory

   Cardiac catheterization is a general term for a group of procedures that are performed in the cath lab, such as coronary angiography. Once a catheter is in place, it can be used to perform a number of procedures including angioplasty, PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) angiography, transcatheter aortic valve replacement, balloon ...

9. Coronary artery bypass surgery - Wikipedia

   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 ...
