Catheter-based intervention

Catheter-based intervention is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat certain heart conditions. A thin tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the groin or arm, and guided to the heart or problem area. Through this catheter, doctors can open blocked arteries, repair faulty valves, or close abnormal openings without the need for large surgery. This approach often results in less pain, shorter recovery times, and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery. It is a precise and effective method for diagnosing and treating heart problems in many patients.
