Catheterization is a medical procedure in which a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into blood vessels or body cavities.
It is used to diagnose or treat different health conditions. For example, in cardiac catheterization, a catheter is inserted into the blood vessels of the heart to evaluate its function and treat diseases such as coronary artery obstruction.
Catheterization can also be performed in other parts of the body, such as the urinary tract or bile ducts. Catheterization is a safe and effective procedure that helps doctors obtain accurate information and perform necessary treatments.
