Coronary Catheterization
Cardiologists in Fletcher Allen’s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory inject a dye into the arteries of your heart through a long, thin tube called a catheter. The dye is visible on x-ray videos, helping to identify any blocked or narrowed arteries.
Identifying blocked arteries
The test can determine if there is blockage in the coronary arteries which reduces the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart.
