Cardiac catheterization is a test during which flexible tubes called catheters are inserted into the heart via an artery or vein under x-ray guidance to diagnose and sometimes treat certain heart ...

Percutaneous heart valve procedures have been increasingly performed over the past decade, yet real‐world mortality data on valvular heart disease (VHD) in the United States remain limited.

Despite decades of technique refinement of transarterial embolization and the establishment of specialty referral centers, fetuses diagnosed with vein of Galen malformation continue to have high ...
