Pulmonary Angiography in Israel

In most cases, angiography of the pulmonary arteries is performed, accessed through the artery. The examination provides a reliable picture of the patency of the vessels, the presence of a thrombus, or the integrity of the vessel.

Angiography is performed using a special contrast agent, which is injected into the artery, spreads throughout the bloodstream, while determining the presence of pathology in the organ itself, vascular anomalies, areas not supplied with blood, and areas with increased blood supply (usually tumours).

At the medical center "Top Ihilov", not only arterial pulmonary angiography is performed, but also venous angiography. A distinctive feature of this study is that the catheter for the contrast agent is inserted into a vein, passes through the heart chambers, and enters the venous bloodstream of the lungs. The procedure is technically complex, but due to the high qualifications of the doctors at "Top Ihilov", complications during the examination are excluded.

Angiography is performed both on a planned and emergency basis, when every minute is important. The diagnosis depends on the rapid identification of the bleeding site and the provision of timely targeted assistance.

The "Top Ihilov" clinic conducts diagnostic procedures:

• angiopulmonography;
• angiography of the bronchial arteries;
• selective angiography of a lung lobe or the entire organ;
• thoracic arteriography.

All diagnostic manipulations are carried out after the patient receives all the information about the upcoming examination and with the consent of the patient or their authorized representative. If the patient's condition does not require inpatient treatment, the examination is conducted on an outpatient basis.
