Track 02 - Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions It deals with the catheter-based treatment of systemic heart disorders. Cardiac catheterization is a procedure to test the muscles of the heart, valves, or arteries of the coronary (heart). Into a large blood vessel that leads to the hea...
Surgical interventions remain a cornerstone in the treatment of certain cases of heart failure and angina, particularly when conservative measures are insufficient.Coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) is a well-established procedure for improving blood flow in patients with severe coronary artery disease ...
Interventional cardiology:Interventional cardiologyis subspecialty of cardiology that uses intravascular catheter-based techniques with fluoroscopy to treat various heart diseases. Many procedures can perform on the heart by catheterization. Mostly involves the introduction of a sheath into the femoral artery ...
Cardiac Catheterization You’ll be awake during this procedure, and you may feel some pressure but no pain. You receive a local anesthetic before your doctor inserts a tube, or sheath, into a blood vessel that leads to your heart. Next, a catheter, inserted into the tube, travels to your...
Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) is a non-surgical procedure used to treat narrowing (stenosis) of thecoronary arteriesof the heart found in coronary artery disease. After accessing the blood stream through the femoral or radial artery, the procedure uses coronary catheterization to visualise the...
Coronary angioplasty and stenting.This procedure follows right after a cardiac catheterization and is done to open clogged arteries. Once the catheter reaches the blockage, the cardiologist inflates a tiny balloon at its end, which opens the blood vessel and allows blood flow to resume. At the ...

While women will present with similar symptoms as men when having an acute myocardial infarction, depending upon the type of heart attack, they are less likely to receive the same aggressive care, including heart catheterization,angioplasty, and stenting (the procedure during catheterization where the...
