Introduction to Angio

Introduction to Angio

Angio refers to the process of making a blood vessel visible using contrast imaging. This can be done using various techniques, including angiography (injecting contrast material into the blood vessels), ultrasound, and MRI. Angio can be used to diagnose a variety of conditions, including blockages, narrowing, and leaks. It can also be used to guide interventions, such as angioplasty and stenting.

Angio surgery

Angio surgery is a type of surgery that is used to treat conditions that affect the blood vessels. This type of surgery is often used to treat conditions such as arteriosclerosis, aneurysms, and vascular malformations. Angio surgery is typically performed using a catheter, which is inserted into the blood vessels through a small incision. Once the catheter is in place, the surgeon will use it to access the blood vessels and perform the necessary procedures.

Avoid

After angiography, it is important to avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and sexual activity for at least 24 hours. You should also drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcohol. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on when you can return to your normal activities.

There are a few things to keep in mind after an angiogram. First, it is important to rest for a few hours after the procedure. Second, avoid strenuous activity and lifting heavy objects for a few days. Third, keep the incision site clean and dry. Fourth, monitor for any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or drainage. Lastly, follow up with your doctor as instructed.

Bed Rest

A typical angiogram procedure lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Bed rest after the procedure is usually recommended for 4 to 6 hours. This is to allow the contrast dye to clear from your system and to help prevent bleeding at the puncture site. You may be able to go home after 4 to 6 hours of bed rest, or you may need to stay in the hospital overnight.

Not to do before angiogram

There are a few things you should avoid doing before an angiogram. First, you should not eat or drink anything for at least six hours before the procedure. Second, you should not smoke for at least 24 hours before the angiogram. Third, you should not take any blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 24 hours before the procedure. Finally, you should not wear any jewelry or other metal objects, as they may interfere with the angiogram.
