Coronary Angiogram
An X-ray imaging test is done to see if there are any restrictions in blood flow going to your heart. This is the most common test to help doctors diagnose heart conditions. During coronary angiography, a small catheter or tube is inserted through the skin into an artery in the groin or the Hand. Through a special x-ray viewing instrument, the catheter is moved to the opening of the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. A small amount of solution containing iodine is injected into each artery. The images that are produced are called the angiogram which accurately reveals the blockages.
Depending on the severity of the blockage in the artery, our experts prescribe the insertion of a stent during the angiography itself. A stent supports the artery walls to prevent them from narrowing again after the angioplasty. Our cardiologists at Emirates Hospital are highly proficient in performing a stent procedure that requires a fine eye for detail, assisted with high precision instruments with a patient’s comfort as the priority.
Coronary Angioplasty
An Angioplasty means a surgical, endovascular procedure that is minimally invasive and is used to widen obstructed or narrowed blood vessels (arteries and veins) around the heart in order to restore the natural flow of blood. In pathological terms, angioplasty is called percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI. Angioplasty can help relieve symptoms of blocked and clogged arteries is often performed immediately after a heart attack. Coronary angioplasty procedure uses a small balloon catheter to open up the clogged heart arteries, in turn improving the blood flow to the heart. Sometimes, this process is clubbed with the placement of a metal stent in the artery to help keep the coronary artery wall open.
