From the little I know about a cardio catheterization, I have had two, I do not know why your past tests suggest you need one.  A clean/good stress test is a good indication you do not have any heart artery blockage (one test a catheter is better able to quantify) - but if you doctor says you need to have such a test, I'm not arguing with the recommendations, just sharing what I know.
