In order to provide better service to our citizens, it was put into service on September 5, 2022 with the "Diagnostic Angio" procedure.
What is Angio?
Coronary angiography is the visualization of coronary vessels (the vessels that supply and supply blood to the heart) by administering a dyed liquid. In its simple definition, angiography means filming of coronary vessels. "To be an angio" among the people means that the angiography procedure has been applied to the person. Angio is Latin for "vessel"; Graph also means "Picture". It is a method discovered in the 1950s-1960s. It was much more difficult in the old days. The arteries had to be cut. Today, only needles are used. Coronary angiography is a procedure that can be called minimally invasive, deteriorates the patient's condition much less, and cannot be called surgery. It is a life-saving procedure when necessary. Coronary angiography can be life-saving if there are issues such as heart attack, spasm, cholesterol. Angio is a procedure with many benefits. With angiography, it is determined whether there is stenosis or complete occlusion in the heart vessels. Coronary angiography is performed in the catheter laboratory. In this section, precautions have been taken so that both the patient and the employees are not harmed.
Angio is a diagnostic method. In which cases angiography will be performed can be listed as follows:
- Severe chest pain in the patient
- If the patient has a heart attack condition
- If signs of coronary stenosis are present
- As a result of the positive test result
- Irregular heart contractions during echo
- Suspicion of coronary artery disease in different examinations
- With the presence of suspicious situations in computerized angiography
- With heart valve disease
- If you have diabetes other than heart surgery and have a major surgery
- In order to check the bypass ones
- If you will have a major surgery over the age of 40
- To control those who have a stent or balloon treatment.
In short, angiography is performed in order to diagnose the vascular disease feeding the heart, heart valve disease or the disease of the heart main vessel, to evaluate the heart muscle function and to determine further treatment methods depending on these. Vascular occlusion can be determined by angiography. Angioedema is performed after a heart attack.
