catheterization
I understand from your description that the term in your context refers to a procedure, not an insturment. Is my assumption correct?
The kind of catheterization you are describing is called "cardiac catheterization," in which a catheter is inserted into the heart through a vein in the arm to diagnose heart disease.

The instrument used in catheterization is generically called \"catheter,\" or قسطار in Arabic, but many people call it قسطرة as well. That is one reason we always need full context to suggest the right term. Thank you.
