Coronary angiography is the gold-standard diagnostic procedure to detect narrowings or blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the heart. A thin catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin, guided to the heart, and a contrast dye injected while X-ray images are taken. RRSH performed 1,901 angiographies in 2025–26 — making it one of the most active public-sector cardiac catheterisation programmes in Maharashtra.
Patients with suspected coronary artery disease, chest pain (angina) unresponsive to medication, abnormal stress test results, or prior to cardiac surgery. Referred by cardiologist after clinical assessment.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and mild sedation — you remain awake. A catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin under sterile conditions. Contrast dye is injected and X-ray images are taken. The procedure takes 30–45 minutes. You will lie flat for a few hours afterwards and are typically discharged the same day or next morning.
Fast for 6 hours before the procedure. Inform the team of all medications — especially blood thinners and diabetes medications. Bring all previous ECG, Echo, and medical reports.
Covered under MJPJAY Scheme Code M7 (Cardiology) and S7 (Cardiac Surgery).
