This is traditionally done by injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent into the blood vessel and imaging is done using X-ray based techniques such as fluoroscopy. One of the most common angiographies performed is to visualize the blood in the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. A sterile, long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter are used to administer the X-ray contrast agent at the desired area to visualize any abnormality exists or not. The catheter is threaded on the atraumatic wire into an artery through groin or forearm artery and is advanced through the arterial system to selectively engage coronary artery or any other artery of the interest. X-ray images of radio-contrast distribution within the blood flowing inside the coronary arteries allows visualization of the size of the artery and the blockages. The whole procedure is done without any general anaesthesia or stitches and its practically a painless procedure. Presence or absence of atherosclerosis or atheroma within the walls of the arteries can be clearly determined.When you think of engaging the best angiography doctor in Mumbai then write to us or call now.

After this, an interventional cardiologist can perform a coronary angioplasty, using a balloon catheter in which a deflated balloon is advanced into the obstructed artery and inflated to relieve the narrowing; certain devices such as coronary stents or scaffolds can be deployed to keep the blood vessel open. Various other procedures on the heart and cardiovascular vessels can also be performed.Dr Bang is considered among top angioplasty doctors in Lilavati hospital, Mumbai. Primary angioplasty (PPCI) is the very urgent use of angioplasty in people with acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), especially where there is evidence of severe heart damage on the electrocardiogram (ST elevation MI). PPCI is also used in people after other forms of myocardial infarction or unstable angina where there is a high risk of further events. Finally, PCI may be used in people with stable angina pectoris, particularly if the symptoms are difficult to control with medication. PCI is an alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, bypass surgery), by long open heart operation under general anaesthesia, bypasses are done on the stenotic arteries by grafting vessels from elsewhere in the body under the certain circumstances when extensive blockages, usually in diabetes so called CABG or bypass surgery.
