Catheterization Research and Publications
Physicians and researchers from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia are actively involved in catheterization research, including diagnostic and interventional catheterization procedures and how they are used in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions and diseases. Review some of our research publications for more information about catheterization and the work our team is involved in.
