What to Expect Before a Catheterization Procedure
Undergoing a cardiac catheterization procedure can be overwhelming. At SMCV, we prioritise patient comfort and provide guidance at every step.
- Preparation: Patients will undergo a physical examination and provide necessary medical information, including blood samples and medication history, to confirm fitness for the procedure.
- Procedure Duration: While most catheterization procedures take about 30 minutes, preparation and recovery can extend the total time to several hours. Patients are advised to plan for a full day at the hospital.
- Supportive Care: Our team will ensure that patients feel at ease, addressing any concerns and providing personalised attention to minimise anxiety.
