DIAGNOSTIC TEST

 

Angiography

Cardiovascular System Tests: Angiography

An angiography is a test that allows your doctor to look inside your arteries to see if there is any blockage. If there is blockage, the angiography will show how much. For this procedure, a thin, flexible tube is passed through an artery at the top of the leg (groin) or in the arm to reach the arteries that may be blocked. A dye that can be seen with x-ray is injected into the arteries. Your doctor can then see the flow of blood.

One type of angiography is cardiac catheterization, also known as coronary angiography or coronary arteriography.
