Cardiac catheterization is a medical procedure that cardiologists, or heart specialists, use to evaluate heart function and diagnose cardiovascular conditions. During cardiac catheterization, a long narrow tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery or vein from either in your groin, neck, or arm. This catheter is threaded through your blood vessel until it reaches your heart. A dye can be injected through the catheter that allows your doctor to look at the vessels and chambers of the heart with the use of a special X-ray machine. Once the catheter is in place, your doctor can use it to run diagnostic tests.
Coronary stent. A coronary stent is a tube-shaped device placed in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, to keep the arteries open in the treatment of coronary heart disease. It is used in a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Stents reduce chest pain and have been shown to improve survivability in the event of an acute myocardial infarction. Similar stents and procedures are used in non-coronary vessels e.g. in the legs in peripheral artery disease.
