Although many angioplasties are performed by puncturing the vessel through the skin, others are done by surgically exposing the site of entry. Direct view of the vessel's puncture site aids in monitoring damage to the vessel

What is the name of the test that visualizes the coronary arteries?

Coronary arteries can be visualized most accurately at autopsy. Pre-mortem imaging can be performed by way of a cardiac catheterization. Computed tomography-angiography of the coronary vessels shows some promise, but is not as accurate as plain angiography. Magnetic resonance angiography also can show the cardiac vasculature, but again, is somewhat limited in its usefulness due to the time it takes to obtain the pictures and other technical factors, such as heart rate and rhythm.

What does angiography mean?

This test is utilized to contemplate limited, blocked, extended, or twisted corridors or veins in numerous pieces of your body, including your mind, heart, midsection, and legs.A coronary angiogram is a X-beam of the supply routes in the heart. This shows the degree and seriousness of any coronary illness, and can assist you with figuring out how well your heart is functioning.To create the X-ray images, your doctor will inject a liquid dye through a thin, flexible tube, called a catheter. The doctor threads the catheter into the desired artery from an access point. The access point is usually in your arm but it can also be in your groin. The dye makes the blood flowing inside the blood vessels visible on an X-ray and shows any narrowed or blocked area in the blood vessel. The dye is later eliminated from your body through your kidneys and your urine.
