Coronary Angiography

Coronary angiography is an X-ray examination of the blood vessels or chambers of the heart. A very small tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel in your groin or arm. The tip of the tube is positioned either in the heart or at the beginning of the arteries supplying the heart, and a special fluid (called a contrast medium or dye) is injected. This fluid is visible by X-ray, and the pictures that are obtained are called angiograms. Another name for this test is coronary arteriography.

Anatomy of Artery

An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal swelling or bulge in the wall of the aorta, the body's largest artery - the blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood.
Valvuloplasty ( 2 items )
Valvuloplasty is used to widen a stiff or narrowed heart valve (stenotic heart valve). This allows the heart to pump more effectively, reduces pressures in the heart and lungs, and reduces symptoms.
Valve Repair or Valve Replacement ( 3 items )
Heart valve disease occurs when a valve doesn't work properly. This means that the valve has some problem opening or closing. This causes blood to not move through the heart's chambers the way it should and surgery is hence needed to fix the problem.
Coronary Angioplasty ( 2 items )
Coronary angioplasty (PTCA or PCI) is a medical procedure used to restore blood flow through a narrowed or blocked artery in the heart. The arteries of the heart (the coronary arteries) can become narrowed and blocked due to buildup of a material called plaque on their inner walls. This narrowing reduces the flow of blood through the artery and can lead, over time, to coronary artery disease and heart attack. Other names for coronary angioplasty are Percutaneous coronary intervention, Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty Balloon angioplasty, and Coronary artery angioplasty.
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft ( 5 items )
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft or CABG reroutes or "bypasses" blood around clogged arteries to improve blood flow and oxygen to the heart.
Carotid Angiography ( 2 items )
Carotid angiography is a procedure in which the doctor examines the patient's carotid artery - an artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain.
Pacemaker ( 2 items )
Pacemakers are battery-powered implantable devices that function to electrically stimulate the heart to contract and thus to pump blood throughout the body. Pacemakers consist of a pager-sized housing device which contains a battery and the electronic circuitry that runs the pacemaker, and one or two long thin wires that travel through a vein in the chest to the heart. Pacemakers are usually implanted in patients in whom the heart's own "spark plug" or electrical system is no longer functioning normally.
Pediatric Cardiac Surgery ( 2 items )
Pediatric Cardiac Surgery or Pediatric Cardiac Surgery refers to heart surgery on children.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator ( 2 items )
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator or ICD is used in patients at risk for recurrent, sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.
Heart Transplantation / Cardiac Transplantation ( 1 items )
Heart transplantation or cardiac transplantation, is a surgical transplant procedure used to replace a patient's heart by a working heart from a recently deceased organ donor.
