Cardiac catheterization is often referred to as coronary angiography or a coronary angiogram. It is a radiographic procedure that is used to look at and visualize the heart and the coronary arteries. During a cardiac catheterization it is possible for the cardiologist performing the procedure to see how effectively blood is flowing through the coronary arteries. In addition‚ this procedure allows the cardiologists to see how blood is moving through the chambers of the heart and how effective the

Transcathter Management for Neonatal Coarctation Coarctation of the aorta usually affects the aortic aspect of the insertion of the ductus arteriosus (Isthmus). Theoretically‚ it might be explained by a abnormal migration of the ductal smooth muscle cells into the periductal area in early the fetal life. This theory can explain the narrowing and constriction of the aorta in the periductal area. 1 Balloon angioplasty has been used for managing coarctation since early 1980s. There is strong evidence

cardiology is the study of a group of methods in which diagnostic testing and non-surgical interventional treatments are used for treating patients who suffer from various heart diseases and disorders. This field covers a variety of therapies ranging from stents to intravascular ultrasounds.
