Coronary catheterization
(Redirected from Coronary angiography)
Coronary catheterization is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat certain cardiovascular conditions. During coronary catheterization, a long thin tube called a catheter is inserted in an artery or vein in your groin, neck or arm and threaded through your blood vessels to your heart.
Procedure
Coronary catheterization procedures are done in a hospital. You're awake during the procedure, and it may cause little or no pain. The procedure often takes 30 minutes to an hour.
Uses
Coronary catheterization can help diagnose heart conditions, perform procedures to treat heart disease and check the heart for problems.
Risks
Coronary catheterization carries a risk of complications, including heart attack, stroke and death. These risks are low.
Preparation
Before your coronary catheterization, your doctor will give you detailed instructions on how to prepare for your procedure.
Results
After your coronary catheterization, your doctor will discuss the results with you.
