♥ You may see you patient is being sent to the “Cath Lab” for an angoiplasty. This is either to inject a dye so the MD can see any blockages in the coronary arteries preventing blood flow to the cardiac muscle or to treat blockages if they find any.
♥ See Post Cardiac Catheterization Nursing Care to see how to care for a patient after this procedure.
