What is Peripheral Angiography ?
Peripheral angiography is a diagnostic procedure that involves the use of contrast dye and X-rays to create detailed images of the blood vessels in the legs. It is usually performed to identify blockages or narrowing in the arteries that give blood to the lower body parts. These blockages can result from atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque (fatty deposits) inside the arteries.
Benefits of Peripheral Angiography
- Peripheral angiography allows for precise visualization of the blood vessels, helping healthcare providers accurately diagnose blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities.
- By identifying the location and severity of arterial blockages, peripheral angiography aids in developing personalized treatment plans. This may include interventions such as angioplasty or stent placement to restore blood flow.
- Compared to traditional surgical methods, peripheral angiography is a minimally invasive technique that minimizes the risks related to major surgery, such as infection and prolonged recovery time

FAQ
How is peripheral angiography different from other imaging tests ?
Unlike other imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans, peripheral angiography provides detailed, real-time images of blood vessels by directly injecting contrast dye into the arteries. This allows for precise visualization of blockages and helps guide treatment decisions.
