In this week's episode we delve into the world of cardiac catheterization and speak with Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at USC, Dr. Neil Patel about a recent work he co-authored at Children's LA about continuation of anti-coagulation during catheterization. Does AC have to be stopped to safely perform a catheterization? Are there certain cases or patients in whom the risk may be especially high? What about NOACs or DOACs? When should closure devices be considered? These are amongst the questions posed to Dr. Patel this week.
