Although temporary transparent eyelid tape is available, the most effective treatment of dermatochalasis is surgical. Occasionally ancillary medical treatments may be appropriate, as follows: Dermatochalasis patients with blepharitis may benefit from lid hygiene and topical antibiotics.
Cardiac catheterization is usually performed in the hospital. The test requires some preparations. Before your test: Don't eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours before your test, or as directed by your doctor. Having food or drink in your stomach can increase your risk of complications from anesthesia.
Before the test starts, you will be given a mild sedative to help you relax. An area of your body (the arm or groin) is cleaned and numbed with a local numbing medicine (anesthetic). The cardiologist passes a thin hollow tube, called a catheter, through an artery and carefully moves it up into the heart. X-ray images help the doctor position the catheter. Once the catheter is in place, dye (contrast material) is injected into the catheter. X-ray images are taken to see how the dye moves through the artery. The dye helps highlight any blockages in blood flow. The procedure most often lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
