In general, travelers must have a passport, passport card, an enhanced driverâs license (only available in a few states) or one of the âtrusted travelerâ cards for prescreened travelers. However, there are some exceptions â plus some confusion in regard to cruises.
Angiogram patients. For an angiogram, you'll be taken to the interventional radiology department for the procedure where a nurse will attach monitoring equipment. The doctor will inject a local anesthetic, place a needle into your artery, and thread a flexible wire through the needle into your artery.
Interventional Fluoroscopy. Interventional procedures using X rays necessitate consideration of both patient and staff protection. Considerable patient exposure can occur in some procedures with potential for deterministic injuries. There are also possibilities of deterministic injuries in staff. Since many interventional radiological procedures involve a similar level and pattern of exposure as therapeutic cardiac catheterizations, the links on this page are currently to interventional radiology and cardiology.
