draining of fluids by use of a hollow tube inserted into a body cavity
Passage of a tubular, flexible, surgical instrument called a CATHETER into a cavity of the body. Used to withdraw fluids.
(also known as "Heart Cath")- a procedure in which a long thin tube designed for passage throughout the lumen of a blood vessel is passed into the chambers of the heart.
the passage of a tube, either through the urethra into the bladder, or through a stoma in the abdominal wall into the bladder.
The insertion of a tub, through the penis into the bladder to allow urine to escape.
Commonly called a heart cath, a procedure in which a small plastic tube called a catheter is placed into the heart while your doctor watches on a special x-ray machine.
The process of inserting a catheter into the bladder to make urine drain out.
A test used to diagnose coronary artery disease using the catheterization procedure. Contrast dye is injected into the coronary arteries via a catheter, and this allows the doctor to see, on an X-ray screen, the exact site where the artery is narrowed or blocked.
The process of inserting a catheter into a vein or artery and guiding it through the heart chambers and surrounding vessels for purposes of examination or treatment.
a procedure in which a catheter is passed through the urethra and into the bladder for the purpose of draining urine and performing diagnostic tests of bladder or urethral function.
A technique in which a hollow, flexible tube is used to drain body fluids (such as urine), to introduce fluids into the body, or to examine or widen a narrowed vein or artery.
The insertion of a small plastic tube into a blood vessel, for the purpose of infusing fluid or radio-opaque dye (as in angiography), or for the purpose of sampling blood.
Insetting a small rubber tube into the urethra to help drain the bladder of urine.
Insertion of a slender tube through the urethra or through the anterior abdominal wall into the bladder, urinary reservoir, or urinary conduit to allow urine drainage.
a diagnostic test in which a catheter is inserted into the heart to measure pressure and oxygen, and to take pictures (angiography).
Inserting a catheter into the urethra.
Cardiac catheterization is a test used to explore the coronary arteries, using a fine tube (catheter) that's put into an artery or vein of an arm or leg and passed into the arteries of the heart. Can be used in the diagnosis of heart disease. (Read about " Cardiovascular Tests" " Coronary Heart Disease")
To manage the symptoms of urinary incontinence catheterization techniques are used. Catheterization can involve internal or external urine collection. If an internal catheterization technique is chosen, a narrow tube is introduced through the urethra into the bladder to withdraw urine. A second option in catheterization is to have an external collection device. This device is attached to the genitals to collect urine and drain it into a collection bag.
the use of or insertion of a catheter (as in or into the bladder, trachea, or heart).
The passage of a small, tubular instrument through a vein into the heart to gather blood samples, gauge pressure within the heart and detect anomalies.
To insert a slender tube into a body passage, vessel or cavity.
Examination of the heart by means of a thin catheter inserted into a vein or artery.
Emptying of the bladder by insertion of a small tube through the urethra.
A procedure sometimes used to diagnose the condition of the heart and/or circulatory system and, in some cases, to treat cardiovascular disease. A hollow, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted by means of a very fine flexible wire into a blood vessel somewhere in the body (usually the arm, neck, or leg), and from there is threaded through the blood vessel to the heart or other location being investigated. Catheterization can be used to detect (and in some cases to treat) arterial blockage, to discover malformations of the heart, and to study electrical conduction in the hear, among other things.
a diagnostic procedure which examines how the heart and its blood vessels function.
Insertion of a narrow tube through the urethra or through the front of the abdominal wall into the bladder to allow urine drainage.
The threading of a small tube into an artery or other passageway in the body.
The process of examining any part of the body by introducing a thin tube (catheter) into a vein or artery and passing it into the area being studied (i.e. the heart).
A technique involving the insertion of a flexible tube for the withdrawal of body fluids. A catheter can manage the drainage of urine from the bladder.
Passage of a tubular, flexible, surgical instrument called a catheter into the bladder to remove urine.
