A catheter angiography is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the groin or arm, and guided to the area being studied—in this case, up to 80 centimeters from the insertion point. Your doctor might recommend this procedure to take detailed pictures of your blood vessels to check for blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities that could affect blood flow. During the procedure, you'll likely be awake but sedated, and you can expect to feel pressure at the insertion site as the catheter is guided through your vessels, though you shouldn't feel pain.
