title: Outpatient left heart and coronary arteriography. The current practice at the University of Louisville School of Medicine.
abstract: The extension of coronary arteriography into the out-patient population provides more rapid assessment and determination of severity of coronary artery disease in a primary care and referred base population. The speed of the procedure and reduced recovery period are reflected in enhanced cost containment and improved patient compliance and satisfaction. Further technological advancement in this rapidly developing technological field continues to provide improved patient care.
