Coronary Angiography

Cardiac catheterization is occasionally used in conjunction with coronary angiography. This process gauges the pressure within the heart's chambers.
You will be given a small sedative to help you relax before the exam begins. An part of your body (the groin or arm) is cleaned and an anesthetic (local anesthetic) is used to numb it.

A thin, hollow tube known as a catheter is inserted into an artery and gradually raised into the heart by the cardiologist. X-ray pictures assist the physician in placing the catheter. A contrast material known as dye is put into the catheter once it has been positioned. To see how the dye passes through the artery, X-ray pictures are taken. The dye makes any blood flow obstructions easier to see. Typically, the process takes 30 to 60 minutes.

About Coronary Angiography

Heart (cardiac) catheterizations are a broad category of operations that includes coronary angiography. Heart and blood vessel disorders can be identified and treated via cardiac catheterization treatments. The most common kind of cardiac catheterization technique is a coronary angiography, which can be used to diagnose heart issues.

In India, patients who may have heart disease are frequently diagnosed by coronary angiography. Numerous highly qualified and experienced cardiologists in the nation specialize in carrying out this surgery. Furthermore, contemporary equipment and technology are available in Indian hospitals, guaranteeing precise and secure imaging throughout the process.

Coronary angiography is a safe and effective procedure, but it does carry certain risks, such as bleeding, infection, and damage to the artery. The doctor will discuss these risks with the patient before the procedure and take appropriate steps to minimize them.

Procedure of Coronary Angiography

Coronary angiography is a diagnostic procedure that is used to visualize the blood vessels of the heart. During the procedure, your arm or groin area may have a small amount of hair removed to make room for a flexible tube, or catheter. After cleaning and disinfecting the area, a local anesthetic injection is used to make it numb. A little cut is made at the point of entry, and your artery is supplied with a short plastic tube (sheath). The catheter is gently threaded into your heart or coronary arteries after being placed into your blood artery through the sheath. Threading the catheter shouldn't cause pain, and you shouldn't feel it moving through your body. 


Dye (contrast material) is injected through the catheter. When this happens, you may have a brief sensation of flushing or warmth. But again, tell your healthcare team if you feel pain or discomfort. Following the angiography, the catheter is taken out of your arm or groin, and the incision is sealed with tape, a clamp, or a tiny plug. You'll be brought to a recovery area so that you can be watched and evaluated. You go back to your room, where you are constantly observed until your condition is stabilized.
