Cardiac Catheterization
In a cardiac catheterization procedure, a small, hollow tube is inserted into a blood vessel. Once inserted, a number of procedures can be performed through the catheter, including measuring the pressure within the heart’s chambers, collecting biopsies, angiogram, and angioplasty.
McKenzie-Willamette opened its cardiac catheterization lab in December 2004 and has been providing much-needed diagnostic services to cardiac patients throughout central Lane County ever since.
