Aortofemoral bypass
An aortofemoral bypass is a procedure to insert artificial tubes (grafts) above blocked iliac arteries and connect the ends of the graft to your femoral arteries.
Cardiac catheterisation (coronary angiogram)
Cardiac catheterisation involves inserting a very thin tube into the right side of your heart.
Cardiac clinical pharmacology
