Cardiac catheterization is a procedure where a thin tube is inserted into blood vessels to diagnose and treat heart conditions. 2. What are CPT codes for cardiac catheterization? CPT codes for cardiac catheterization range from 93451 to 93598 and cover various aspects like catheter placement, imaging...
In a multi-center clinical trial (n = 484, median age of the patients at catheterization was 1.8 years, with a range 0.2 to 70.7 years), Pass et al (2004) found that moderate to large PDAs can be effectively and safely closed using the Amplatzer ductal occluder, with excellent initial a...

a particularly salient feature was that although catheterization was performed in more CCTA patients in the 90 days following noninvasive testing, the likelihood of nonsignificant CAD was significantly lower in the
During the CR, no patient experienced adverse events (AEs) or deterioration of right-sided HF or hemodynamics as confirmed via right heart catheterization. The authors concluded that the combination of BPAs and subsequent CR for inoperable CTEPH additively ameliorated exercise intolerance to near-...
However, because MRI data about systemic and pulmonary flows are been well-validated and well-correlated with catheterization data, one of the indications for the use of MRI is evaluation of a VSD that is judged to be borderline during echocardiography in terms of the level of the left-to-...
