WHAT IS CARDIAC CATHETERISATION?
This is a procedure which enables Dr Davis to gain specific information about your heart arteries and valves. The more common procedure is called a left heart catheter. This is done by passing tiny catheters through a major artery, usually in the groin or sometimes via the arm or wrist, directly to the main heart arteries as well as into the main pumping chamber or left ventricle. Some patients may also require a right heart catheter which involves passing similar catheters through a major vein, usually in the groin, towards the heart and lungs.
