CT Coronary Angiography: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Preparation: Before the CT Coronary Angiography procedure, you may be advised to fast for a specific period, and adjustments to medications might be made.
During the Procedure: Once in the procedure room, you will be administered anesthesia, followed by the insertion of a catheter, usually through the groin area, and guided to the heart. Contrast dye is then injected, allowing doctors to capture detailed images of the blood vessels using an X-ray.
Post Cardiac Angiography Care: Post Angiography procedure instructions may include restrictions on certain activities and additional guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.
