Abstract
The use of ionizing radiation during cardiac catheterization procedures poses risks to patients and medical staff, both directly and indirectly through orthopedic injuries caused by lead aprons. In this review, we summarize recent advances in radiation protection in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and discuss the effectiveness of traditional and novel radiation protection strategies and equipment.
