About Cardiac Catheterisation (Angiography)
Cardiac catheterisation involves threading a thin catheter through a blood vessel (usually in the wrist or groin) to the heart. Contrast dye is injected and X-ray images show the coronary arteries. It diagnoses blockages and can guide interventions like angioplasty and stenting.
What to Expect
Under local anaesthesia and sedation, a catheter is inserted through the radial (wrist) or femoral (groin) artery. Contrast dye is injected and X-ray images are taken. If blockages are found, angioplasty may be performed during the same procedure. The diagnostic procedure takes 30–60 minutes. Hospital stay is typically 1 day.
