An angiography surgery in India is a medical imaging technique that uses an X-ray image to visualize the inside of the blood vessels and organs of the body. The X-ray film or image of the blood vessels is called an angiogram. In 1972, Egas Moniz, a Portuguese physician, neurologist and Nobel Prize laureate had developed a technique of contrasted X-ray cerebral angiography for diagnosing nervous diseases like arteriovenous malformations, tumors, etc. He is recognized as one of the pioneers in this field. After the introduction of the Seldinger’s technique in 1953, the procedure became safer considerably since the sharp introductory devices need not remain inside the vascular lumen.
The most common angiography surgery performed will visualize the blood in the coronary arteries. A long, thin, flexible tube called as a catheter is used to administer the X-ray contrast agent at the desired region. The catheter is threaded into an artery in the groin or the forearm and the tip is advanced through the arterial system into one of the two major coronary arteries. The X-ray images will allow the view of the size of the artery openings. The presence or absence of the atheroma or atherosclerosis within the walls of the arteries cannot be determined clearly.
This surgery is an x-ray examination of the arteries, veins and heart chambers that looks at the blood flow. It will identify the sites of blockages or narrowing of the arteries, reveal any blood clots, any weakening or bulging of your artery walls and calcium deposits. Often, an angiography surgery is needed to decide which treatment is required for your heart failure.
A fine flexible and hollow tube called as a catheter is inserted into the blood vessel through your arm or groin. The tip of the catheter is positioned either in the heart or at the entrance of the arteries that supply the heart before a special dye is injected that is visible on X-ray. The pictures obtained are called as angiograms. An angiography can be taken between 30 minutes and two hours, depending on the complexity of the investigation. The patient will be advised about the time about when they can go home and whether they can go home alone at the time of appointment.
An angiography surgery will help to diagnose the diseases of the blood vessels by providing information which helps to determine the best treatment for your condition. Most commonly, this procedure is the first step in treating your medical condition. The exact advantages of undergoing an angiography surgery india will vary for each individual as per their health condition.
An angiography is performed by a specially trained team of medical staff including a radiologist who is a specialty doctor carrying out the procedure, the radiographers or the medical imaging technologists operating the X-ray machine and the nursing staff. If this surgery is being carried out as the first step then a vascular specialist doctor will carry out the procedure.
The lack of basic healthcare facilities and medical equipments in Ethiopia and the highly expensive treatments and surgeries in South Africa, are the major reasons why patients choose the angiography surgery in India.
