Catheter-based techniques

Catheter-based techniques involve using a thin, flexible tube called a catheter inserted into blood vessels or body cavities to diagnose or treat medical issues. These procedures often require minimal incisions and are guided by imaging technologies like X-rays. They can be used to perform tasks such as removing blood clots, delivering medications directly to specific areas, or repairing blockages in arteries. These minimally invasive methods typically result in quicker recovery times and less discomfort compared to traditional surgery. Overall, catheter-based techniques are precise, effective, and reduce the risks associated with more invasive procedures.
