Chattanooga Angiogram Services

Angiograms (also known as arteriograms) are a key tool in vascular surgery, helping doctors see detailed images of blood vessels. By injecting a contrast dye and using X-rays, they can spot issues like blockages or abnormalities. These images guide surgeons in planning and carrying out precise, minimally invasive procedures. Angiograms are crucial for diagnosing and treating vascular conditions, ensuring better outcomes for patients undergoing surgery.

Angiogram FAQs

An angiogram is a special test that takes pictures of blood vessels. It helps doctors see how blood is flowing and find any problems like blockages or issues within the vessels. During the test, a special dye is put into the bloodstream, and then X-rays are taken to create detailed pictures. This helps doctors plan and perform surgeries more accurately, especially for conditions related to blood vessels.

If an angiogram shows something unusual, it means there might be a problem with the blood vessels. The doctors will carefully look at the pictures to understand what’s going on. Depending on what they find, they might recommend different treatments or procedures to fix the issue. This can include lifestyle changes, medication, vascular surgery, or a combination of other recommendations.

After an angiogram, you’ll probably spend some time resting. The injection site might be a bit sore, but that’s normal. The doctors and nurses will keep an eye on you to make sure everything is okay. They might ask you to lie still for a while. It’s good to have someone with you to help after the procedure. You’ll get instructions on what activities to avoid for a bit and when you can go back to your regular routine. Most people feel better in a day or two, but if you have any concerns or unusual feelings, it’s important to let the medical team know.
