Transcatheter Procedures

Transcatheter procedures are minimally invasive medical techniques used to diagnose or treat heart and blood vessel conditions. They involve inserting a thin, flexible tube called a catheter through a small incision, usually in the groin or arm, and guiding it to the affected area inside the body under imaging guidance. These procedures can repair valves, open blocked arteries, or place devices like stents, often reducing recovery time and lowering risk compared to traditional open surgeries. They are essential tools for managing various cardiovascular issues in a less invasive and efficient manner.
