The passing of a catheter into the heart is known as cardiac catheterization. This procedure is performed by a cardiologist in a catheterization lab, commonly called a cath lab. A long, thin tube is placed through a blood vessel to the heart.

After blood cells leave the heart what kind of vessels and in what order does it move?
There are two blood vessels that take the blood away from the heart. The PULMONARY ARTERY takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated, and the AORTA which takes oxygenated blood from the heart and distributes it to the body.

What is the flow of blood inside the human heart?
Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the vena cava, then passes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. The blood is then pumped via this ventricle via the pulmonary arteries to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood returns to the left atrium of the heart via the pulmonary veins and passes via the mitral valve to the left ventricle. This powerful pump then sends the blood through the aortic valve to the aorta and on to the entire body to nourish all living tissue and cells

What is the most common surgical treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome?
A needle guided by ultrasound is passed through the fetal heart. A catheter is positioned across the fetus's aortic valve, a balloon inflated, opening the valve and allowing blood to flow.
What is a suprapubic catheter?
A Suprapubic Catheter is a urine drainage catheter which is inserted into the bladder so that urine can be drained out, usually when the normal way out for the urine is blocked. Instead of being passed up through the urethra as is usual, the supra pubic catheter is inserted through the abdominal wall just above the pubic bone and into the bladder. This is a minor surgical procedure and involves giving a local anaesthetic injected around the area before the insertion. More often, this procedure is carried out as part of a larger surgical procedure, ie. Prostatectomy, and will be inserted in the operating theatre when you are asleep. The medical term for "above" is "supra" hence Suprapubic, "above the pubic", in this case it is refering to where it is positioned. This can be a long term solution. Hope this helps.
What is an instrument used to inspect the urinary bladder?
The most commonly used device for urinary catheterization is the transurethral catheter which is a flexible tubing that is passed through the urethra until the tip is within the bladder and urine flow is established. The Foley catheter has a balloon at the tip which can be inflated with water to prevent the catheter from dislodging spontaneously. In emergency situations where a catheter cannot be passed transurethrally either because of severe obstruction or risk of further urinary tract injury, such as with an acute pelvic fracture with an associated urethral laceration, a suprapubic catheter can be passed into the bladder through a small incision made in the skin above the pubic bone.
What is a cardiac catheterization?
catheterization is an insertion of temporal or permanente steril catheter via transurethral or sovrapubic for diagnostic, therapeutic or evacuative purpose. Catheters are made up of different materials that makes them rigid, semi rigid or flexible with different dimensions.
What is heart decatherization?
Heart decatherization is really not a "term." It could, however, be made to mean "the removal of a heart catheter from the coronary arteries." When someone is suspected of having blocked coronary arteries (maybe after a heart attack), the cardiologist will perform a "heart catheterization." This means that a small, sterile hose is passed through a large artery such as the "Femoral" artery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_artery) and threaded up and into the coronary arteries close to the area where the suspected blockage is occuring. The doctor then squirts some fluid through the catheter and views it on an X-ray type machine. The fluid, called "contrast," can be seen by the X-ray for just a moment; Long enough for the doctor to see where the fluid goes. He can then see whether or not the blockage in the artery is a large one or a small one by watching the route of the fluid. Once he/she determines that there is a blockage and how severe the blockage is, he removes the catheter....this would be decatherization, if you want to call it that.

What are treatment options for a carotid artery aneurysm?
The treatment options for a carotid aneurysm are usually Clipping or coiling Clipping is an open procedure, usually performed by a neurosurgeon. An inscision is made and a small clip is placed over the aneurysm. The purpose of this is to prevent blood flow into the aneurysm and possible rupture. Coiling is a minimally invasive procedure. A thin tube is placed into the femoral artery, located in the groin and manouvered into the carotid artery. This is done under fluroscopy (x ray) imaging normally. Small metal colis are passed through ths tube, providing haemostasis within the aneurysm. Both procedures have similar success rates, however, coiling is becoming increasingly popular as the recovery period is usually quicker.
