How Is It Done?

• A thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin.

• The catheter is gently guided to the heart’s arteries.

• A contrast dye is injected, and X-ray images are taken to visualize blood flow.

• You’ll be awake but sedated with medication to help you stay relaxed and comfortable.

This is a day-care procedure—you can typically return home the same day, following observation.

Why Is It Important?

Coronary angiography enables your cardiologist to:

• Identify narrowed or blocked arteries

• Evaluate risk of heart attack

• Plan the most appropriate treatment to relieve symptoms and prevent complications

What If a Blockage Is Found?

Coronary Angioplasty (PCI – Percutaneous Coronary Intervention)

If a significant blockage is detected:

• A small balloon is inserted and inflated at the site of narrowing to widen the artery.

• In most cases, a stent (a tiny mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open and reduce the risk of re-narrowing.

This can often be done immediately during the same procedure as the angiography, if necessary.
