Interventions

OTHERInclusion visit

This visit takes place between days -15 and -7 preceding a coronarography scheduled for Day 0. It is part of standard care and corresponds to a required cardiology consultation.

This visit takes place on the same day as the inclusion visit and includes practical advice concerning the hospital stay, explanations concerning the surgical act and practical advice on its implementation, information on the length of stay and after. An explanatory booklet concerning the surgical procedure is provided to the patient.

A nurse will telephone the patient 72h to 48h before the coronarography scheduled for day 0. During the telephone conversation the nurse will assess the patient's knowledge about his/her pathology, his/her examination and the course of hospitalization. The nurse will answer any questions and if needed provide further information.

PROCEDURECoronarography on day 0

This coronarography is scheduled as part of the patient's routine care. This is not an experimental intervention under evaluation.
