Abstract
This chapter examines the ethics involved in catheter-based cardiovascular interventions (CBCVIs) as nested within iterated larger structures of ethics. The ethics of CBCVIs are a particular instance of medical ethics. Those in turn are a particular application of professional ethics, and those in turn are the application of general ethical concerns to the specific case of those subjects bound into a profession or institution. Hence the chapter starts with a thumbnail sketch of the most general context and philosophical approaches taken to it, and subsequently refines this to consider increasingly specific matters.
