Best Heart Specialist conducting Angiograms

An X-ray of the blood arteries is called an angiogram. It can produce images of the vessels in various human organs. An angiogram can thus aid in the detection of blood vessel obstructions.

Angiograms can also be used to detect blood vessel abnormalities, such as blood clots, weakening blood vessels, and plaque deposits.

CT and MRI scans can also be used to perform angiograms. The results of an angiogram are used to diagnose a variety of diseases. Some of them are:

Aneurysms, or bulges that form in weakening artery walls

Congenital abnormalities in the heart

Design treatments such as chemoembolization, stenting or a coronary bypass

To determine the health of blood vessels before a surgery

Dr Pranoy has conducted many angiograms for patients over the course of his career. Before starting, he will explain the procedure in detail to the patient, and may ask them to avoid eating or drinking anything a night before.

Once the procedure begins, the patient is given a mild anesthetic. Dr Pranoy, will disinfect and numb the area through which a tube will be inserted. He will make a small incision in the skin and insert a tube into an artery. After the insertion, he will guide the tube to the blood vessel that needs to be examined.

A contrast dye will be injected through the tube and fluoroscopic images of the artery will be taken. Even though this is an invasive procedure, Dr Pranoy, being a specialist in the field, is highly proficient in conducting Angiograms.
