What is Coronary Angiography?
Coronary angiography is an interventional diagnostic method and is not a type of surgery. Coronary angiography is the process of administering a special dye into the heart vessels and taking images using an imaging system. The patient does not need to be anesthetized for the procedure, the patient is awake and can talk during the procedure.
People with risk factors and chest pain suggesting coronary artery disease,
• Those who have had a heart attack,
• Those who have had a previous coronary intervention (balloon-stent) or coronary artery surgery and have recurring chest pain,
• Those who have survived sudden death,
• Those who will undergo heart surgery (heart valve) other than coronary artery disease,
• Those who will undergo non-cardiac vessel (artery) surgery,
• Those with serious life-threatening rhythm disorders,
• Those at risk with abnormalities in non-invasive tests (ECG, echocardiography or exercise ECG), coronary arteries should be imaged with coronary angiography.
As a result, our clinic successfully performs Percutaneous TransluminalAngioplasty (Balloon/Stent) treatments, which are Special Procedures in preventive, clinical and interventional cardiology at a level befitting today's standards.
