What is Angiography ?

• An angiogram is an X-ray test that uses a special
  dye and camera (fluoroscopy) to take pictures of
  the blood flow in an artery (such as the aorta)
  or a vein (such as the vena cava). An angiogram
  can be used to look at the arteries or veins in
  the head, arms, legs, chest, back, or belly.

Why angiography is necessary?

• An angiogram can show how serious your coronary
  artery disease is and how best to treat it. It
  shows if your coronary arteries are clogged,
  where they are clogged, and by how much. The test
  can help your doctor see if you need treatment
  such as medicines, angioplasty , or coronary
  artery bypass surgery .

Angiography is performed using

• x-rays with catheters
• computed tomography (CT)
• magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Preparing for an Angiography

• Before having an angiogram, you may be asked to
  attend a hospital appointment to check that you
  can have the test.
• being asked about your medical history, including
  if you have any allergies
• being asked about any medication you're taking 
  you'll be told if you need to stop taking it
  before the test
• having a number of tests to check your general
  health, including a physical examination and
  blood tests

The Angiography procedure

• For the test
• A small cut is made in the skin over one of your
  arteries, usually near your groin or
  wrist  local anaesthetic is used to numb the
  area so it doesn't hurt .
• a long, thin, flexible tube (catheter) is
  inserted into the artery and is carefully guided
  to the area being examined  you may feel some
  pushing and pulling when this is done, but it
  shouldn't be painful
• a series of X-rays are taken as the dye flows
  through your blood vessels
