Diagnostic Peripheral Angiography
Diagnostic peripheral angiography is a medical imaging test used to identify narrowed or blocked arteries that supply blood to the legs and other extremities. This procedure involves injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream and using X-rays to capture detailed images of the arteries, helping doctors locate blockages or abnormalities that may be causing pain or poor circulation. At Revere Health, we offer diagnostic peripheral angiography to accurately diagnose vascular conditions and guide effective treatment plans.
How Diagnostic Peripheral Angiography Works
During the procedure, a contrast dye is injected into the arteries. As the dye moves through the blood vessels, X-ray images are taken, allowing your doctor to see areas where the arteries are narrowed or blocked. This helps pinpoint the location and severity of the problem.
When Is Peripheral Angiography Recommended?
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): For patients experiencing symptoms like leg pain, cramping, or numbness due to poor blood flow.
Chronic Wounds: To assess circulation in patients with non-healing wounds on the legs or feet.
Suspected Blood Clots: To detect blockages caused by blood clots or plaque buildup in the arteries.
