Coronary Angiography

Before undergoing Coronary Angiography, the patient is informed about the procedure and undergoes a basic preoperative assessment (blood tests, electrocardiogram). At Therapis General Hospital, our team places special emphasis on the medical history, ensuring that the procedure is performed without complications, especially in cases of allergies or kidney dysfunction.

Many patients wonder whether Coronary Angiography is painful. The truth is that the examination is performed under local anesthesia at the catheter insertion site, so the patient does not feel pain. There may be a slight sensation of warmth during the injection of the contrast dye, but Coronary Angiography is considered a well-tolerated procedure of short duration.

After the completion of the procedure, the patient remains under observation for a few hours. If the procedure is performed via the radial artery (wrist), mobilization is almost immediate. In the modern environment of Therapis General Hospital, most patients can return home the same day, following simple instructions for brief rest.

Although Coronary Angiography is an extremely safe procedure, like any medical act, it carries some rare risks, such as hematoma at the puncture site or an allergic reaction to the contrast dye. However, when performed by experienced and specialized Interventional Cardiologists, the likelihood of complications is minimized.
