Message definition (Cardiology)
Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the [[catheter]] based treatment of structural heart diseases. A large number of procedures can be performed on the heart by catheterization, including angiogram, angioplasty, atherectomy, and stent implantation. These procedures all involve insertion of a sheath into the [[femoral artery]] or radial artery (but, in practice, any large peripheral artery or vein) and [[cannula]]ting the heart under {{Nowrap|X-ray}} visualization (most commonly [[fluoroscopy]]). This cannulation allows indirect access to the heart, bypassing the trauma caused by surgical opening of the chest.
