AI Thread Summary
The operation in question is known as catheterization, a medical procedure where a tube with a camera is inserted into the body to access the heart. This procedure typically involves making an incision in an artery, usually located in the thigh or arm, and threading the catheter through to the heart. There are different types of catheterization, including those that enable visualization through the catheter and others that allow for the insertion of a stent into the artery. For further information, searching "catheterization" online will provide additional insights.

Operation in which a tube with camera is inserted into body to the heart . I do not know further details about this operation but I can't understand what is this operation called ? I heard like electroscopic operation . Is it right or not?

It is called cartheterization. It is done by cutting into an artery, generally in the thigh but it can be in the arm, and then running the catheter from there to the heart. There are versions that allow viewing through the catheter and there are versions that also allow the catheter to insert a stint into the artery. Google "catheterization" for more discussion.
