Frequently Asked Questions

Angiography is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to visualise the blood vessels in various parts of the body.

Angiography is performed to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions that affect blood vessels, such as blockages, aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations.

Angiography utilises the injection of a contrast agent into the blood vessels, followed by X-ray imaging to visualise the vessels.

Angiography is typically performed under local anaesthesia, so patients usually do not experience any pain during the procedure. However, some patients may feel mild discomfort or pressure when the contrast agent is injected.

The duration of angiography depends on the area of the body being imaged and the complexity of the procedure. Generally, angiography takes between 30 minutes to an hour.

The risks of angiography include bleeding, infection, allergic reactions to the contrast agent, and damage to the blood vessels.

Before angiography, patients are usually asked to fast for several hours and to avoid certain medications that could interfere with the procedure. Patients may also need to undergo blood tests or imaging studies to evaluate their health status.

Angiography is generally not recommended for pregnant women, as it can expose the fetus to harmful radiation.

Cerebral angiography is a type of angiography that focuses on the blood vessels in the brain and is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as stroke, aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformation.

Cardiac angiography is a type of angiography that focuses on the blood vessels of the heart and is used to diagnose and treat coronary artery disease and heart attack.

Pulmonary angiography is a type of angiography that focuses on the blood vessels in the lungs and is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension.

Peripheral angiography is a type of angiography that focuses on the blood vessels in the arms, legs, and other parts of the body and is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as peripheral artery disease and deep vein thrombosis.

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a type of angiography that uses computer technology to enhance the X-ray images of blood vessels, making it easier to identify blockages and other abnormalities.

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a type of angiography that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to visualise the blood vessels in the body.

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a type of angiography that uses computed tomography (CT) technology to visualise the blood vessels in the body.

The cost of angiography varies depending on the location, complexity, and type of procedure.

Angiography is a highly effective diagnostic and therapeutic tool for identifying and treating diseases and conditions that affect blood vessels.

Patients can usually restart their normal activities within a few hours after angiography, but they may need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several days.

The results of angiography are usually available immediately after the procedure, and the images can be interpreted by a radiologist or other medical specialist.

Angiography is generally not used as a screening tool, as it is an invasive procedure that carries some risks. However, it may be recommended for individuals who are at high risk for vascular disease or who have symptoms suggestive of a vascular condition.
