2. Transradial catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transradial_catheterization

   The transfemoral (through groin) approach to perform cardiac catheterization has typically been more prevalent in invasive cardiology. But radial access has gained popularity due to technical advances with catheters and lower complication rates than transfemoral access. [ 1 ]

3. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_aortic_valve...

   The transapical approach sees the catheter and valve inserted through the tip of the heart and into the left ventricle. Under general anesthesia, a small surgical incision is made between the ribs, followed by a small puncture of the heart. The delivery system is then fed slowly to the correct position at the aortic valve.

4. 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").

6. 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.

7. Hybrid cardiac surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_cardiac_surgery

   Cardiac catheter placement through the groin. Cardiac catheterization is the insertion of a catheter into the heart through a blood vessel. The cardiac catheter can then be used to run tests and perform other procedures. Such procedures are stent placement, angioplasty, fractional flow reserve, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and cardiac biopsy ...

8. Percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percutaneous_coronary...

   A, the catheter/DES device is inserted across the lesion. B, the balloon is inflated using saline fed through the catheter portion into the DES/Balloon component, expanding the DES and compressing it against the artery wall. C, the catheter and deflated balloon removed leaving the DES firmly embedded in the artery wall.

9. Left atrial appendage occlusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_atrial_appendage...

   The Amulet device is inserted very similarly to the Watchman LAAC implant. A catheter is introduced into the groin and travels up to the heart where it crosses from the right atrium into the left atrium via a hole in the septum. The device is then discharged into the LAA. Eventually tissue grows over the Amulet device and completely occludes ...
