Angiogram Doctors in Banashankari | Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar

A Peripheral Angiogram is a diagnostic procedure that provides detailed images of blood vessels outside the heart—commonly in the legs, arms, kidneys, and neck (carotid arteries). It helps identify blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities that could lead to pain, ulcers, strokes, or organ dysfunction.

With years of expertise in vascular imaging and intervention, Dr. PavanKumar P Rasalkar offers safe and precise peripheral angiography using advanced imaging techniques.

Who Needs a Peripheral Angiogram?

Your doctor may recommend this test if you have:

• Leg pain while walking (claudication)

• Non-healing wounds or ulcers in feet or legs

• Coldness or numbness in extremities

• Uncontrolled hypertension (suspected renal artery narrowing)

• Risk factors like diabetes, smoking, or high cholesterol

• Suspected carotid artery disease (risk of stroke)

Procedure Overview

• A small catheter is inserted into an artery (usually in the groin or wrist)

• A contrast dye is injected into the targeted vascular region

• High-resolution X-ray images are taken in real-time (fluoroscopy)

• The procedure takes around 30–45 minutes

• You may be discharged the same day after observation

What It Reveals
