Angiography Solutions for Comprehensive Diagnosis

Coronary Angiography is a vital medical imaging procedure utilized to diagnose coronary artery disease. By injecting a contrast dye into the coronary arteries and employing X-ray imaging, our healthcare professionals can obtain detailed images that reveal any blockages or abnormalities within these crucial blood vessels.

This diagnostic technique plays a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions, such as Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), by providing essential information to address identified issues and enhance blood flow to the heart.

Coronary Angiography stands as a cornerstone in the comprehensive evaluation and management of coronary artery disease, ensuring patients receive timely and targeted interventions to optimize cardiac health.

  • Hospitalization typically lasts 2 to 4 hours, varying based on the specific procedure.
  • Patients can resume eating and drinking following the completion of the procedure.
  • Extended hospital stay may be required for therapeutic catheterizations.
  • Detailed discussion of results, along with signed reports, will be provided to you or your primary physician.

Are there any Risks Involved in the Procedure?

While cardiac catheterization is generally considered safe, like any medical procedure, it carries certain risks, although they are rare. These risks may include:

  • Bruising, bleeding, heart attack, stroke, or damage to the heart, artery, or insertion area.
  • Irregular heart rhythms, allergic reactions to dye or medication, kidney damage, infection, and blood clots.

At our facility, the safety and well-being of our patients are paramount. That's why our team of trained Interventional Radiologists provide latest technology and imaging techniques to reduce these risks to a feasible extent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Following angiography, you will be transferred to a recovery area where you'll undergo monitoring for several hours. It's common to experience mild discomfort at the catheter insertion site, which typically subsides within a few days. Additionally, expect some bruising and swelling at the insertion site, which is normal.
Angiography may be recommended by our healthcare provider if you are experiencing symptoms suggestive of blood vessel problems, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or stroke-like symptoms. It helps to diagnose conditions such as blockages, narrowing, aneurysms, or tears in the blood vessels.
The duration of the Angiography procedure may vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the case and any additional procedures performed. On average, a standard diagnostic angiography procedure typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour to complete.
Most patients experience only minor discomfort during angiography, such as pressure or a brief sensation of warmth when the contrast dye is injected. Local anesthesia is typically used to numb the insertion site, minimizing discomfort during the procedure.
The cath lab provides a controlled environment where healthcare providers can perform angiography procedures safely and effectively. It houses specialized X-ray machines, known as fluoroscopy machines, which enable real-time visualization of blood vessels as contrast dye is injected into them.
