What is Coronary & Radial Angiography ?

Coronary & Radial Angiography

Angiography is a diagnostic modality that is widely used for examining the blood vessels. It works just like the X-rays, however, in this case, a special contrast dye is administered into the patients blood to highlight the blood vessels, which makes it easier to analyse the flow of blood and pinpoint any problem with added accuracy. It can be used to diagnose problems like atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease, pulmonary embolism and aneurysms,

Angiography is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a cardiac catheterization technique. If the doctors feel the need, they may proceed to perform angioplasty and stent placement.

About Coronary & Radial Angiography Procedure

Preparation

  • The first and most important step is consultation, during which your doctor will analyze your medical history, conduct a physical examination and ask questions related to your health.
  • Blood tests may be done to assess the patient’s kidney function. This is done to make sure that the kidneys of the patient are healthy enough to get rid of the contrast dye that is used during the procedure.
  • You will be briefed about the procedure and what to expect. Doctors will also inform you about the pros and cons of the same. This is important to help you prepare for the procedure, both physically, and mentally.
  • It is important to inform your doctors if you have any allergies, or, are taking any medication actively. You might be required to make adjustments in the dosage or stop taking some of the medicines temporarily.
  • You need to fast for a few hours before the procedure to make sure that it is being done on an empty stomach. This is important for alleviating the risks of vomiting and nausea.

What does the Procedure involve?

  • Angiography does not involve the use of general anesthesia, but simple sedatives, to ensure that you feel relaxed during the procedure.
  • You will be made to lie down on a table and doctors will make a tiny cut to access one of your arteries, either near the groin or arm. 
  • A sheath will be inserted to pave the way for introducing the catheter. This is carefully guided towards the concerned area of the heart using a guidewire and detailed imaging guidance.
  • A contrast dye will be administered into the bloodstream of the patient for improved visualization. The movement of the dye via the blood vessels will be keenly observed to assess areas that are narrowed or blocked.

What follows the Procedure?

  • After the procedure is carried out, the patient is required to lie down still for a couple of hours to alleviate the risks of bleeding.
  • Patients are generally discharged on the same day. In the case of any serious complication, or if treatment is needed, you might need to stay overnight.
  • You need to drink a lot of water to flush out the contrast dye material.
  • It is advisable to avoid lifting heavy objects or indulging in strenuous physical activities for 2 to 3 days.
