Frequently Asked Questions

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.

The most common procedures performed in the catheterization laboratory are: coronary angiography, coronary angioplasty, stent placement, embolization of tumors and vascular malformations, and radiofrequency ablation.

A cardiac catheterization procedure is performed in a specialized room. A catheter is inserted into an artery or vein through a small incision in the skin 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 using special instruments.

The duration of a cardiac catheterization procedure depends on the type of procedure and the complexity of the case. It can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours.

Cardiac catheterization procedures are considered safe, but like any medical procedure, there are associated risks. Some of the possible risks include allergic reactions to the contrast dye, bleeding at the puncture site, infections, and damage to blood vessels.
