Cardiac catheterisation Munich

A cardiac catheterisation is recommended if there are suspected circulatory disorders or structural changes in the heart. Typical signs can be

• Recurrent or exertion-dependent chest pain
• conspicuous findings in the Exercise ECG, Heart CT or Stress echo
• Known coronary heart disease with increase in symptoms
• Unclear limitations of the heart function
• Suspected valvular heart disease

The catheter examination enables a precise assessment of the coronary arteries and helps to plan the appropriate treatment quickly and safely

The examination is performed using a thin catheter, usually via the wrist or groin artery. It provides a precise visualisation of the coronary arteries and enables:

• Detailed visualisation of the coronary arteries
• Assessment of constrictions and calcifications
• Measurement of pressure and flow conditions
• Assessment of structural changes in the heart

If a relevant narrowing is detected, treatment can often be carried out immediately, for example by means of Balloon dilatation (PTCA) or stent implantation. More complex interventions such as recanalisation or catheter-based heart valve procedures are also possible in this way.

As a conservative practice, we do not perform cardiac catheterisation ourselves. Instead, we coordinate your treatment in close cooperation with renowned Munich clinics that specialise in the latest catheter procedures. So you benefit from:

• Highly qualified interdisciplinary expertise
• short waiting times and clear processes
• Individual selection of the appropriate centre
• state-of-the-art equipment and gentle techniques
• Seamless reconnection to our practice

We remain your central point of contact - before, during and after the procedure, so that you are well looked after at all times.

Structured cardiological follow-up care is crucial after a catheter examination. This includes

• Monitoring the success of treatment
• Optimisation of drug therapy
• Assessment of the individual risk profile
• Lifestyle and prevention counselling
• Regular follow-up checks for long-term stability

Our aim is to safeguard your heart health in the long term, recognise risks at an early stage and prevent renewed cardiac stress.

Whether for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, a cardiac catheterisation is often a decisive step in the reliable treatment of coronary artery disease. With careful preparation, sound expertise and close cooperation with leading clinics for cardiac catheterisation in Munich, we offer you coordinated and reliable care.

If you are experiencing symptoms or a catheter examination has been recommended, we will advise you personally and accompany you from the initial consultation through the examination to aftercare.
