Peripheral Vascular Angiography

An Angiogram is a test that is used to diagnose peripheral arterial disease (PAD), or blockage of the arteries in the body, such as in the legs, neck, or abdomen. A narrowing or blockage can be definitively seen by injecting into the artery a fluid (contrast) that can be seen under x-ray. Your physician can interpret these results and recommend whether medical, surgical, or percutaneous (angioplasty) treatment is the best for you.
