Angiography
An angiography is a test that allows your doctor to look inside your arteries to see if there is any blockage and, if so, how much. For this procedure, a thin flexible tube is passed through an artery at the top of the leg (groin) or in the arm to reach the arteries that may be blocked. A dye that can be seen with x-ray is injected into the arteries. Your doctor can then see the flow of blood through your arteries.
