Interventional cardiology uses catheters to treat certain heart conditions. Catheterization is minimally invasive and can be used for a broad range of treatments, from diagnosing a heart issue to repairing a congenital defect. This includes precision angioplasty that uses 3D intravascular imaging to allow for precise placement of stents.
