Hemodynamics is a medical specialty focused on the study and diagnosis of diseases of the cardiovascular system. It is used to assess the function of the heart and blood vessels, as well as to perform therapeutic procedures such as angioplasty and stent placement.
Some of the most common procedures performed in the catheterization laboratory include coronary angiography, coronary angioplasty, stent placement, tumor embolization, and the repair of vascular malformations.
The procedure is performed in a specialized laboratory suite. A catheter is inserted through an artery or vein in the groin or arm and guided to the area to be treated. A contrast dye is then injected to visualize the blood vessels, and the necessary procedures are performed.
The duration of a cardiac catheterization procedure can vary depending on the type of procedure and the complexity of the case. In general, it can last between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
During a cardiac catheterization procedure, local anesthesia is administered at the catheter insertion site, so the patient should not feel any pain. However, the patient may experience a sensation of pressure or mild discomfort during the procedure.
