Coronary catheterization is one of the several cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures.Specifically, through the injection of a liquid radiocontrast agent Balloon Expandable Valve Implantation in a Systemic Tricuspid Valve With Annular Calcification Using 3D CT Overlay A coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood filled chambers of the heart using a catheter.It is performed for both diagnostic and interventional (treatment) purposes. 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). When those trials complete, it is likely that TAVR will also be used on the intermediate risk group. : Long.term (up to 19 years) results of balloon valvuloplasty of critical aortic stenosis.
