Agree toTerms and ConditionsAngiography is a diagnostic medical procedure that utilizes X-ray imaging to examine blood vessels in various parts of the body, typically the heart and blood vessels leading to the brain, kidneys, and legs. It helps doctors visualize and assess the condition of blood vessels, detect any abnormalities, and diagnose various cardiovascular conditions.
To assess blockages or narrowing of coronary arteries.
To evaluate blood flow and detect any valve defects.
A condition characterized by the narrowing of arteries, potentially putting you at risk of experiencing a stroke or heart attack.
This is a condition where chest pain occurs because of decreased blood flow to the heart muscles.
A condition resulting in reduced blood supply to the muscles in your legs.
This condition involves a bulging of a blood vessel in your brain, which may cause significant health risks.
A blockage in the artery supplying blood to the lungs, which can have severe consequences.
In this condition, blockage of blood supply to your kidneys occurs, which might lead to kidney-related health issues.
Helps doctors plan and execute targeted interventions, such as angioplasty or stent placement.
As a catheter-based procedure, it involves small incisions, reducing the risk of complications and promoting faster recovery.
By identifying and addressing the main issues, it can enhance overall well-being and reduce symptoms like chest pain or leg discomfort.
Typically, patients are asked not to eat or drink for a few hours before the procedure.
Inform your doctor about all the medications, allergies, or pre-existing medical conditions.
These tests may be prescribed to check kidney function and ensure safe administration of contrast dye.
Understand the procedure and its potential risks by discussing it with the medical team and providing informed consent.
You will be awake, but a doctor may give you a sedative to help you relax.
You'll lie on an X-ray table, and a small cut (incision) will be made in your groin or wrist area, using a numbing medicine to prevent pain.
A thin, flexible tube (catheter) will be inserted into the artery through the incision.
The catheter will be carefully guided to the area that needs to be examined, like the heart.
Then a contrast dye is injected through the catheter to see your blood vessels clearly on X-rays.
The whole test takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Afterward, you can usually go home in a few hours.
After the procedure, patients will be observed in a recovery area. Vital signs, such as heart rate and blood pressure, will be checked.
Make sure to keep the incision site dry and clean to prevent infection.
Adhere to all post-operative instructions given by the healthcare team, including medications and activity restrictions.
It is important to inform the medical team about any unusual symptoms, like excessive bleeding or signs of infection.
Used to check the heart and nearby blood vessels.
Conducted to check the blood vessels in and around the brain.
Performed to check the blood vessels that supply the lungs.
Carried out to check the blood vessels that supply the kidneys.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of angiography performed and individual factors. Generally, patients can expect to resume their normal activities within a day or two. Remember, strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for a few days.
Allergic reactions to the contrast dye.
Bleeding or bruising at the catheter insertion site.
Blood vessel damage.
In some cases, alternative procedures may be considered based on the patient's condition and medical history. These alternatives might include non-invasive imaging techniques like MRI, CT scans, or ultrasound. These are called MRI angiography or CT angiography. These can provide valuable information about blood vessels without the need for catheterization.
