In the chamber of the heart's silent song, Where shadows dance, and fears belong, There lies a tale of courage and grace, In the realm of the cardiac space.
With gentle hands and purpose clear, A journey starts, devoid of fear, Through vessels winding, vessels vast, A catheter sails, a steadfast mast.
Inserted in the wrist, or groin's embrace, It ventures forth, with careful pace, Through arteries coursing, veins that wind, Seeking truths of the heart enshrined.
Coronary angiography, a canvas unfurled, With contrast dye, the mysteries swirled, Revealing blockages, a map of strife, In the intricate dance of heart and life.
Fractional flow reserve, a whispering breeze, Measuring pressure, with expert ease, Deciphering the language of flow, To guide decisions where paths must go.
Angioplasty and stenting, a symphony's crescendo, Opening pathways where life's currents wend so, A balloon's gentle breath, a stent's quiet song, Restoring rhythm where blockages throng.
In the realm of intervention, a healer's art, Thrombectomy, atherectomy, each a part, Of the tapestry woven with skill and care, Mending the broken, hearts laid bare.
Yet amidst the marvels, risks may rise, Bleeding, infection, fears arise, But courage stands, in the face of plight, For the promise of hope, shines ever bright.
In the realm of cardiac catheterization's gaze, Where science and compassion meet in amaze, Lies a testament to human will, To heal, to mend, to comfort, still.
