Arteriograms
The arteriograam (also called an angiogram) is a catheterization study where contrast (“dye”) is injected in the arteries of the legs to get a picture of the blockages. This will allow your vascular specialist to know several critical things about your condition.
-
The exact location and severity of the blockages in the arteries
-
The best treatment options for improving the circulation to your leg(s)
-
How complicated and risky treatment might be in your particular case
