What Is An Angiogram Procedure?
Angiogram procedures can vary in complexity which determines how long they will take and what the recovery stage looks like. Typically, this procedure can take anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Most patients are able to go home the same day, but certain cases require you to stay overnight in a hospital before being dismissed. The procedure is performed whilst under local anaesthetic.
The procedure involves carefully feeding a catheter into your arteries and requires a skilled and experienced doctor to conduct it.
Why An Angiogram Procedure Is Done?
As you probably now understand, an angiogram procedure is no simple task and your doctor will only recommend it when necessary. It helps your doctor to diagnose conditions that affect your blood vessels and the flow of blood through them. The main reason for an angiogram is to assess for coronary artery disease (blockages). In addition to the above, an angiogram can be recommended in planning procedures like angioplasty and stenting or surgery.
