Angiogram

At Aruna Cardiac Care Hospital, Tirunelveli, we are committed to providing top-tier cardiac care with the latest technology. One of the advanced solutions we offer is pacemaker implantation. A pacemaker is a small device implanted in the chest to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms. This life-saving device ensures your heart maintains a steady and appropriate pace, allowing you to live a healthier, more active life.

Coronary Angiogram: This is used to view the coronary arteries and assess the blood flow to the heart. It helps in diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), blockages, or other heart-related issues.

• Preparation: Prior to the procedure, you will undergo a thorough evaluation, including a review of your medical history and a physical examination. You may be asked to fast for a few hours before the test.
• Procedure:
  • Insertion of Catheter: A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the groin or wrist. This is done under sterile conditions.
  • Contrast Dye Injection: A special contrast dye is injected through the catheter into the blood vessels. This dye makes the blood vessels visible on X-ray images.
  • Imaging: As the dye flows through the vessels, a series of X-ray images or a video recording is taken to capture detailed views of the blood vessels and blood flow.
• Completion: After the imaging, the catheter is removed, and the insertion site is bandaged. The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes.

• Recovery: You will be monitored in a recovery area for a few hours to ensure there are no immediate complications. The recovery time is generally short, and most patients can go home the same day.
• Post-Procedure Care: You will receive instructions on how to care for the catheter insertion site, including keeping it clean and dry. You may be advised to avoid strenuous activities for a short period.
• Results and Follow-Up: The images obtained during the angiogram will be reviewed by our specialist team. You will receive detailed information about the findings and any recommended treatment options. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled as needed to discuss results and further steps.
