Peripheral Limb Angiography

Peripheral limb angiography is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the blood vessels in the arms or legs. It involves the use of contrast material and X-ray imaging to visualize and assess the blood flow through the peripheral arteries and veins.

During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the groin or wrist, and carefully guided to the area of interest in the limb. Contrast material is then injected through the catheter, which allows the blood vessels to be visualized on X-ray images. The images obtained can help identify any blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities in the blood vessels.
