Coronary angiography. Coronary angiography is a procedure that uses a special dye (contrast material) and x-rays to see how blood flows through the arteries in your heart. Coronary angiography is often done along with cardiac catheterization. This is a procedure which measures pressures in the heart chambers.
The angiography is widely used to detect lung blood vessel complications such as blockages in the vessels as well as narrowing of the blood vessels, also known as stenosis. It also helps detect early signs of bulging in an artery that could be a prelude to an impending rupture and subsequent hemorrhage.
