This 3D heart animation shows a coronary angiography (cardiac catheterization) procedure.

Afterwards, the patient lies on a testing table while contrast dye is injected into the arteries of the heart, showing the location of the blockage.

    good info. however, they can also use the brachial artery. myself, i had one up the femoral, found a 75% block in my lad. fixed with a drug eluting stent in 03. gonna have a cardiac dye stress test on friday. my dad had a heart cath through his brachial, he only had 1 artery clear, the rad. he died 2 weeks later of heart failure. another smoking death and hyperlipidia in his young and mid life.

    really educated video

  • tplothe1:

    depending on what kind of blockage is discovered- some times a balloon angioplasty is performed or a stent is placed while performing angiography. Severe blockage requires a bypass surgery.

    Got to see 2 of these today, found it extremely interesting.

    Just had this done yesterday. Don’t worry about the procedure, just worry about the results. I didn’t feel a thing during the ordeal. Had to stay overnight and I really don’t like hospitals and their lack of unhealthy food. After the procedure, you will definitely feel it. The next day you’ll be sore in the groin area…not really sore, but a discomfort.Good to know that I don’t have any obstruction which gives me peace of mind, but the bad news is I have to change my diet…no salt.
