	Angiogram of the Lung
		Lung (pulmonary) angiogram is used to evaluate the arteries that lead to the lungs (pulmonary arteries) and the blood vessels within the lungs.
		Pulmonary angiogram is usually done to detect a pulmonary embolism, which is an obstruction within the pulmonary artery that suddenly decreases blood flow to the lungs.
		Pulmonary angiogram may also be done to measure the pressure within the vessels supplying blood to the lungs, to look for lung abnormalities, or to detect blockage or narrowing of the vessels.

	Angiogram
		A cerebral angiogram is normally an out-patient procedure, with the patient being admitted in the morning and discharged home in the afternoon or evening.
		A cerebral angiogram involves a study of the blood vessels in the head and neck.
		During the course of the angiogram from the beginning to end, medications may be given to you to help take away any discomfort and to help you relax during the procedure.

		During the angiogram, the doctor inserts a thin tube (catheter) into the artery through a small nick in the skin about the size of the tip of a pencil.
		One of the most common reasons for angiograms is to see if there is a blockage or narrowing in a blood vessel that may interfere with the normal flow of blood through the body.
		Angiograms are sometimes used by surgeons to plan an operation or choose the best surgical procedure.

	Angiogram and angioplasty, indications, technique and complications of angiography
		An angiogram is a special form of x-ray that permits the diagnosis of blockages (occlusions) or narrowings (stenosis) in the arteries of the body.
		As far as the patient is concerned, angioplasty is very similar to an angiogram except that a slightly bigger catheter is used and therefore the risks of bleeding are slightly greater.
		If the doctors know your kidneys may be at risk during an angiogram, they can reduce the risks of damage by giving extra fluids in an intravenous drip before during and after your angiogram.

	Angiogram\| Heart Disease\| Heart Health
		If a blockage is found during the angiogram then an angioplasty has to be done to either balloon the artery to reopen it, or to insert a stent to make sure the artery remains open.
		The actual angiogram isn't painful since the area of the entry is numbed with anesthesia.
		An angiogram is usually performed after the cardiologist has determined through other non-invasive tests such as the nuclear stress test, the EKG, that this test is necessary.

	Angiogram \| Mayfield Clinic
		An angiogram, also called an arteriogram, is a type of x-ray that takes pictures of your blood vessels with the help of a contrast agent that is injected into your arteries through a catheter.
		Angiograms are very good at detecting problems with the blood vessels such as an aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), arterial stenosis (narrowing of the arteries due to atherosclerosis), tumor, and clots (Figure 3).
		An angiogram is an invasive test, so it is not without risk.

	Angiogram
		An angiogram is an X-ray test that uses fluoroscopy to take pictures of the blood flow within an artery (such as the aorta) or a vein (such as the vena cava).
		To stop intestinal bleeding, the catheter is moved into the small artery where the bleeding is occurring, and medication that constricts the artery or causes the blood to clot is injected through the catheter.
		An angiogram is not usually done for pregnant women because the X-rays could damage the developing baby (fetus).

	What is a Peripheral Angiogram? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		One of the most common reasons for peripheral angiogram is the need to visualize the arteries which supply blood flow to the legs; however, an angiogram is also performed to obtain information regarding blood flow in the abdominal region (aorta, intestinal, and renal systems) as well as the upper body (subclavian, pulmonary, or carotid systems).
		At the beginning of the angiogram, a small puncture is made in the skin at the chosen insertion site.
		Overnight stays are based on the results of the angiogram, type of closure used, and the time of day that the procedure is completed.
