Cardiac Catheterization treatment in India
Cardiac catheterization is done to see if you have a heart problem, or as a part of a procedure to correct a heart problem your doctor already knows about. Cardiac catheterization is also used as part of some procedures to treat heart disease...
If you're having cardiac catheterization as a test for heart disease, your doctor can : -
* Locate narrowing or blockages in your blood vessels
* Find out the amount of oxygen in your heart
* Test the pressure inside your heart
* Take a sample of tissue from your heart (biopsy)
* Diagnose heart defects present from birth (congenital heart defects)
* Look for problems with your heart valves...
Procedures
The procedures include :
1) Angioplasty with or without stent placement : - Angioplasty involves temporarily inserting and expanding a tiny balloon at the site of your blockage to help widen a narrowed artery. Angioplasty is usually combined with implantation of a small metal coil called a stent in the clogged artery to help prop it open and decrease the chance of it narrowing again (restenosis).
2) Closure of holes in the heart : - Some congenital heart defects involving holes in the heart can be treated by threading a catheter to the hole to close it, rather than having open-heart surgery.
3) Balloon valvuloplasty : - This procedure can open narrowed heart valves by threading a catheter with a balloon-like device to the part of your heart valve that's narrowed and inflating it...
After the procedure
It usually takes several hours to recover from a cardiac catheterization. After your procedure is finished, you'll be taken on a gurney to a recovery room while the anesthesia wears off. This usually takes about an hour.
After you leave the recovery room, you'll go to a regular hospital room. The plastic sheath inserted in your groin, neck or arm will be removed soon after unless you've had a blood-thinning medication during your procedure. It's very important not to move the limb that your catheter's been inserted in, or to lift your head if your catheter is in your neck, so as not to cause serious bleeding...
Results
If you're having cardiac catheterization as a test, your doctor should explain the results to you. Your results may show that you need surgery or another treatment to correct a heart problem...
