what the risks are --> cardiac arteriogram, angiogram, angiography, arteriography, a contrast material, seen using x-ray equipment is injected into one, the arteries, allowing health care provider, the vessel, an arteriogram, examine any artery, the head, kidneys, heart, lungs, used, repair the blood vessels, balloon angioplasty, information on these more specific types of tests which examine the blood vessels, in the same way, cerebral angiography, head, extremity angiography, arm, leg, renal angiography, kidneys, pulmonary angiography, lungs, lymphangiography, lymph vessels, right heart ventriculography, looking, right side, the heart, left heart ventriculography, looking, left side, the heart, coronary angiography, looking, vessels, the heart, aortic angiography, aortography, looking, aorta, major artery, heart, eye angiography, cardiac catheterization, study, carried out, laboratory by a trained cardiologist, radiologist, technicians, nurses, first the doctor, insert an intravenous, iv, line into one, the blood vessels in arm, chest, neck, groin, a catheter is then inserted, the iv, into blood vessels using an x-ray machine that produces "live" pictures, once the catheter, blood vessel of interest, contrast material is injected, pictures, it takes a long time, the doctors to get the catheter into just the right spot, compared to threading a needle, sewing, see cardiac catheterization , generally feel some discomfort, site, iv, most blood vessels, not have nerve endings, probably won't feel the catheter inside of body, depending upon the type of arteriogram performed, experience a variety of symptoms, the doctor injects the contrast material, an arteriogram, the head, cerebral arteriogram, feel a brief flushing feeling in head, iv, in groin, asked, lie flat on back, few hours, test to avoid bleeding, mild back discomfort, reasons, test depend on the type of arteriogram, arteriograms give the best pictures, the body's blood vessels, arteriograms, make specific diagnoses, to help determine what the best treatment, particular case, performed, using the same type of catheters used, in the arteriogram, instead of requiring a more extensive surgery in an additional procedure, these depend on the reason, this test, where arteries, blocked, blockages in different arteries indicate different conditions, risks, procedure depend on the type of arteriogram performed, should ask doctor, the risks, agree to have the test performed, risk of bleeding, infection, pain, iv site, always a very small risk that the soft plastic catheters could actually damage the blood vessels, blood clots could form on the catheters, later block blood vessels elsewhere, contrast material could damage the kidneys, particularly in patients, diabetes, risks present, well.
