note = "Bacteremia after diagnostic cardiac catheterization is uncommon, but bacteremia after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has not been studied prospectively. Unlike diagnostic cardiac catheterization, PTCA involves the use of an indwelling arterial sheath after completion of the procedure, which is connected to a pressurized heparin solution, both of which increase the risk of local infection and/or bacteremia.",
