What Is A Cardiac Catheterization?
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that is performed to examine the blood flow to the heart. A thin tube called a catheter will be inserted into a patient’s artery or vein. This procedure is very intricate and should be performed with great care and caution. If a mistake is made during the process, the results could be traumatic.
