Abstract
Coronary artery surgery and, more recently, coronary balloon angioplasty have promoted an increase in the number of cardiac catheterizations performed in the United States each year. The admission of the patient to the hospital on the day before the study and an overnight stay after the catheterization is still the conventional procedure. With the ever increasing cost of hospitalization, the financial burden of this diagnostic procedure is staggering.
