transcatheter
Via catheter insertion
Transcatheter describes a medical procedure performed through a catheter—a thin tube inserted into the body through a blood vessel.
The approach avoids open surgery: transcatheter aortic valve replacement, transcatheter heart procedures.
It allows treatment of conditions deep in the body with minimal incision.
