SUMMARY
The operation discussed is called catheterization, a procedure where a tube with a camera is inserted into the body to access the heart. This is typically performed by making an incision in an artery, usually in the thigh or arm, and guiding the catheter to the heart. There are variations of this procedure that enable visualization through the catheter and the insertion of stents into the artery. For further information, search for "catheterization" online.
