What type of catheter placement means the catheter is moved manipulating or guided into a part of the arterial system other than the vessel punctured?
Selective
How is pulmonary angiography different from cerebral and coronary angiography?
the guide wire and catheter are inserted into a vein instead of an artery, and are guided up through the chambers of the heart and into the pulmonary artery
Why is it necessary to inject a dye into the catheter during a cardiac catheterization?
After the catheter is guided into the coronary-artery system, a dye (also called a radiocontrast material) is injected to aid in the identification of any abnormalities of the heart.
How is angiography done?
Under sedation and local anaesthetic, a needle is introduced from the groin artery. A catheter is then introduced which is guided towards the heart. Once it reaches the heart vessels, a contrast dye is injected and the images are seen on the screen and recorded.
What is the procedure in which a catheter is passed into a vein or an artery and is guided into the heart?
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.
Coronary artery stent?
A coronary artery stent is a small, metal mesh tube that is placed inside a coronary artery to help keep the artery open. To place the stent, a small incision is made in the groin area to reach the artery there. A catheter is guided through the groin artery into an area of the coronary artery which is blocked. The stent is inserted along with a balloon catheter and expands when the balloon is inflated. The stent is then left there to help keep the artery open.Reviewed ByReview Date: 03/21/2009David C.

What does a catheter ablation interrupt?
The technique of catheter ablation (meaning tube-guided removal) is used to interrupt the abnormal contractions in the heart, allowing normal heart beating to resume.

What is a heart cath?
This is the guided set of wire and tube that you pass through your radial artery or the femoral artery to the opening of the coronary arteries to inject the dye to see the coronary arteries. You can dilate the narrow coronary arteries as well as put the stent there.
