Angiology is a medical specialty focused on the study and treatment of diseases affecting blood vessels, such as arteries, veins, and capillaries. It is used to diagnose and treat conditions such as peripheral artery disease, varicose veins, aneurysms, and deep vein thrombosis, among others.

The Angiology Department offers a wide range of services, including diagnostic tests such as vascular Doppler, angiography, and vascular ultrasound. It also provides treatments such as angioplasty, bypass surgery, and sclerotherapy.

Recovery time after an angiography procedure can vary depending on the type of procedure performed and the patient’s condition. In general, you can expect a recovery period ranging from several days to several weeks. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions and take proper post-operative care to ensure a successful recovery.

As with any medical procedure, there are risks associated with angiography procedures. Some of the potential risks include infection, bleeding, blood clots, and allergic reactions to the contrast agents used in some studies. However, these risks are generally low, and the benefits of treatment usually outweigh the risks.

In most cases, a referral from a doctor is required to access angiology services. This is because angiology is a medical specialty that requires a preliminary evaluation by a general practitioner or specialist to determine the necessity and appropriateness of any tests or treatments.
