DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/76/302)\n\n\n\n	Interventional cardiology is a bra
	nch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter-based treatmen
	t of structural heart diseases. Andreas Gruentzig is considered the father
	 of interventional cardiology after the development of angioplasty by inte
	rventional radiologist Charles Dotter.[1]\n\n\n\n	Many procedures can be p
	erformed on the heart by catheterization.[2] This most commonly involves t
	he insertion of a sheath into the femoral artery (but\, in practice\, any 
	large peripheral artery or vein) and cannulating the heart under X-ray vis
	ualization (most commonly fluoroscopy). The radial artery may also be used
	 for cannulation\; this approach offers several advantages\, including the
	 accessibility of the artery in most patients\, the easy control of bleedi
	ng even in anticoagulated patients\, the enhancement of comfort because pa
	tients are capable of sitting up and walking immediately following the pro
	cedure\, and the near absence of clinically significant sequelae in patien
	ts with a normal Allen test.[3] Downsides to this approach include spasm o
	f the artery and pain\, inability to use larger catheters needed in some p
	rocedures\, and more radiation exposure.\n\n\n\n	The main advantages of us
	ing the interventional cardiology or radiology approach are the avoidance 
	of scars and pain\, and long post-operative recovery. Additionally\, inter
	ventional cardiology procedure of primary angioplasty is now the gold stan
	dard of care for an acute myocardial infarction. It involves the extractio
	n of clots from occluded coronary arteries and deployment of stents and ba
	lloons through a small hole made in a major artery\, which has given it th
	e name \"pin-hole surgery\" (as opposed to \"key-hole surgery\").\n\n
