Angiography in Iran
Advanced technology to save lives
Angiography is one of the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic methods in modern medicine, allowing for a detailed examination of the condition of the body’s vessels, especially the coronary arteries of the heart and brain. This vital technique helps doctors identify diseases such as vascular occlusion, heart disease, stroke, and other vascular disorders in a timely manner and choose the most appropriate treatment.
Why do doctors use angiography?
Angiography is an essential tool for diagnosing heart, brain, and peripheral vascular diseases. Using this procedure, doctors can:
Identify blockages or narrowing of the arteries, observe the abnormal structure of the veins, determine the severity of vascular disease, and simultaneously perform treatments such as opening blocked arteries or inserting stents (angioplasty).
Diagnostic and therapeutic angiography: what's the difference?
Angiography may be performed solely for imaging and diagnosis or may be performed concurrently with therapeutic interventions (such as opening a vessel or placing a stent). In therapeutic angiography, once a blockage is detected, the doctor can immediately open the vessel, avoiding open surgery.
Different methods of performing angiography: femoral or radial?
In Shiraz, using up-to-date technologies, angiography is performed through both the femoral artery (groin) and the radial artery (wrist):
Radial (wrist): faster recovery, more comfort, less risk of bleeding, Femoral (groin): suitable for some patients with specific conditions.
The method chosen depends on the patient’s condition and the physician’s discretion.
Angiography in Iran and Shiraz: A Combination of Knowledge, Experience, and Technology
Iran, especially Shiraz, is globally competitive in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases, thanks to access to modern equipment such as digital and 3D angiography.
