Pulmonary Angiography in Israel

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

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

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

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

The "Top Ichilov" 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 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.
