Angiography at maAx Super Speciality Hospital
What the Treatment Is & Why It's Done
Angiography is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to visualize blood vessels in the heart, brain, kidneys, or other parts of the body. It helps doctors detect blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities in arteries and veins. By injecting contrast dye and capturing X-ray images, doctors can clearly assess blood flow and plan appropriate treatments.
How the Treatment Is Performed
Performed in a specialized Cath Lab, a thin catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin and guided to the target blood vessel. Contrast dye is injected and X-ray images are taken. The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes under local anesthesia, and most patients return home the same day.
