WHAT IS ANGIOGRAPHY TREATMENT?

Angiography is an x-ray procedure that involves injecting dye into the chambers of your heart or the arteries that lead to your heart (the coronary arteries) to check for clogged coronary arteries by measuring blood flow and pressure in the heart chambers.

 

A cardiac catheterization operation involves inserting a long, thin tube (called a catheter) into a leg artery ( femoral route ) or hand artery ( radial route ) and threading it into the heart. A dye is injected through the catheter and into the heart once the catheter is in place in the heart. The dye allows doctors to examine the function of the heart chambers and coronary arteries.

INDICATIONS FOR ANGIOGRAPHY

  • Atherosclerosis: narrowing of the arteries that increase the risk of a stroke( carotid artery ) or heart attack( coronary artery ).
  • Peripheral arterial disease: Lowers blood supply to the end arteries of upper limbs and lower limbs.
  • A Brain Aneurysm: protrusion in one of your brain's blood vessels.
  • Angina: Chest pain produced by a reduction in blood supply to the heart muscles.
  • Blood Clots or Pulmonary Embolism: Blockage formed in the artery which supplies blood to the Lungs
  • An obstruction in your kidneys' blood supply
  • A bleeding artery or vein from the intestine
  • Heart valve disease that requires surgery

SYMPTOMS OF ANGIOGRAPHY

UNEXPLAINED PAIN IN YOUR CHEST, JAW, NECK, OR ARM
CHEST PAIN THAT IS NEW OR WORSENING (UNSTABLE ANGINA)

RADIAL ANGIOGRAPHY TEST ?

Most comfortable and preferred route by patients. Less painful. Easy to walk and join work next day.

 

The patient is given an injection of a dye,which flows through the blood carried by the coronary blood vessels. The CT guided images of the dye flowing through the coronaries is captured over some time to look for the blockages if any. Calcium score is calculated from the films. The rise in percentage of Calcium deposition in coronaries is scored . The blockages are in proportion of the calcium scores estimated. This gives us an idea of coronary artery disease. Thallium Scans are used to diagnose Ischemic Heart Disease.

RISKS & BENEFITS OF ANGIOGRAPHY

Bruising & Soreness Shows the exact number of blocked coronary arteries
Injury to catheterized artery Coronary arteries narrowed by fatty plagues (Atherosclerosis)
Stroke & Arrhythmias Identify the locations of blockages in your blood vessels.
Excessive bleeding Show how much blood flow is obstructed in your vessels.
Infection Examine the outcomes of earlier coronary artery bypass surgery.
Allergic reactions Examine the flow of blood through your heart and veins.

A thin catheter is inserted into the artery making a small incision on your wrist (radial) or thigh(femoral). The area is numbed before the procedure, so, it is not painful at all!

It is a safe procedure but minor side effects are commonly seen. Speak to your doctor before the actual procedure for more guidance.

The ECG (Electrocardiogram) does not detect blockages,but it can give a warning sign in certain cases.

Many people feel better in a day or so after having the Angiography done. Patient may feel tired and the wound site is likely to be tender for up to a week.

Angiography is a safe procedure, but risk and complications are higher in older patients.
