Cardiac ablation done for atrialfibrillationhelps control symptoms such as shortness of breath and heartpalpitations. The procedure is helpful when atrial fibrillationis not caused by any structural issues in th
Heart teams who care for patients in the pediatric and congenital cardiac catheterization laboratory are confronted with a growing number of patients presenting for a wide range of increasingly technically challenging cases. Multiple societies have published expert guidelines for CCC management to provide ...
Werner Theodor Otto Forssmann (1904–1979) was a physician from Germany who shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for developing a procedure that allowed cardiac catheterization. In 1929, while working in Eberswalde, he performed the First Human Cardiac Catheterization - ...
Coronary artery fistulas are rare persisting vascular connections from a coronary artery to a cardiac chamber or major central blood vessel. The true incidence is difficult to discern because at least 75% may be asymptomatic and clinically undetectable until an echocardiogram or coronary arteriogram ...

In patients undergoing cardiac catheterization for suspected coronary artery disease, the prevalence of ARAS ranged from 25% to 30% 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, while peripheral arterial disease or abdominal aortic aneurysm is associated with ARAS in 30% to 40% 22, 23. ARAS is more common in ...
The technique of radiation therapy for malignant tumors is improving, and the number of patients who develop radiation ulcers is thus decreasing. The technique of cardiac catheterization has advanced in recent years, and the procedure has become complicated. As a consequence, the irradiation time has...
Furthermore, IVL and ELCA technologies are not always available in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Previous studies have shown the feasibility and safety of RA followed by DCB angioplasty for ISR [15]. RA pulverizes the protruding underexpanded stent by differential cutting and additionally ab...
