Angiography surgery is a procedure used to examine the coronary arteries which carry fresh blood from your heart to your organs. This procedure is performed using a technique called as the cardiac catherization that involves using a catheter to reach the heart. It is inserted through your arm arteries or your groin. The angiography surgery can show if any coronary arteries are blocked and their location and the severity of the blockages. During this surgery, you will be under the local anesthesia and usually feel little or no pain.The duration of this surgery is about 30 to 60 minutes. The procedure is done as a day surgery and in some cases you will be asked to stay overnight at the hospital post surgery. Recovery is easy and very simple- only a few hours at the hospital and the risk of serious complications is low.
The healthcare system in South Africa has poor management, underfunded and deteriorating infrastructure. Although the access to the healthcare system has improved, the quality of healthcare has fallen such that patients prefer opting for the angiography surgery at the top hospitals in India. Angiography is one of the most commonly performed procedure done at various hospitals in India. Medanta Medicity and Artemis Hospital in Gurgaon are considered as the top hospitals in India for Angiography Surgery.
The angiography surgery of the heart is done along with the cardiac catherization. Before the test starts, you will be given a mild sedative which will help you relax. An area of your body such as the groin or the arm is cleaned and numbed with a local anesthesia. The cardiologist will then pass a thin hollow tube in this area. After this a catheter will go through it into the artery and carefully moves up into the heart. The X-ray images will help the cardiologist to position the catheter. Once it is in place, the dye is injected into the catheter. The X-ray images are now taken to see how the dye moves through the artery. The dye will help to highlight any blockages in the blood flow.
You should not drink or eat anything for four hours before the procedure. You need to stay in the hospital the night before the procedure. Most of the time you will be checking into the hospital in the morning on the day of the scheduled procedure. You will earn a hospital gown and have to sign a consent form before the surgery. Your healthcare provider will explain about the surgery and the risks. You should inform your cardiologist about any allergies you have or a bad reaction to the contrast material in the past or if you might be pregnant.
The normal tests indicate that there is a normal supply of blood to the heart and there are no blockages. On the other hand, if the blockage is found, your cardiologist will perform a percutaneous coronary intervention to open the blockages. This will be performed during the angiography procedure but may be delayed for various reasons. You will be refered to a surgeon, if multiple blockages are found by your cardiologist.
