Cardiac catheterization
Active
Description
Cardiac catheterization (heart cath) is the insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart. This is done for both investigational and interventional purposes. Coronary catheterization is a subset of this technique, involving the catheterization of the coronary arteries. A small incision is made in a vessel in the groin, wrist or neck area (the femoral vessels or the carotid jugular vessels), then a guidewire is inserted into the incision and threaded through the vessel into the area of the heart that requires treatment, visualized by fluoroscopy or echocardiogram, and a catheter is then threaded over the guidewire. When the necessary procedures are complete, the catheter is removed followed by the guidewire. Occasionally the incision requires a suture or two, but more often just requires a few minutes of pressure with a clean dressing to stop bleeding.
