Diagnostic Angiography in Navi Mumbai
Circulatory problems can often be silent or confusing. Leg pain, non-healing wounds, or unexplained high blood pressure are often signs of hidden blockages in your blood vessels. At SLVC Clinic, we believe that the right treatment begins with a precise diagnosis.
Under the expertise of Dr. Sagar Satpute, a renowned Endovascular Specialist and Interventional Radiologist in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, we offer Diagnostic Angiography, the "Gold Standard" for visualizing blood vessels and identifying blockages with 100% accuracy.
What is Diagnostic Angiography?
Diagnostic Angiography (also known as an angiogram) is a minimally invasive medical test that uses X-rays and a special contrast dye to take pictures of your blood vessels.
Unlike a standard X-ray, an angiogram allows the doctor to see the inside of your arteries and veins in real-time. It reveals exactly where blood flow is blocked, narrowed, or abnormal, allowing Dr. Sagar Satpute to plan the most effective treatment to restore circulation.
The “Pinhole” Technique: At SLVC Clinic, this procedure is performed without any surgical incisions. A thin tube (catheter) is inserted through a tiny “pinhole” puncture in the wrist or groin. This means:
- No Stitches
- No Scars
- Minimal Discomfort
- Same-Day Discharge
Why Do You Need an Angiography?)
Doctor may recommend this procedure if you are experiencing symptoms suggesting that blood is not flowing correctly to your organs or limbs. Common conditions diagnosed include:
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Blockages in the leg arteries causing pain while walking (claudication) or gangrene.
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Investigating poor blood flow that prevents wounds from healing.
- Renal Artery Stenosis: Narrowing of the kidney arteries, which can cause uncontrolled high blood pressure.
- Vascular Malformations: Abnormal tangles of blood vessels.
- Aneurysms: Weak spots in vessel walls that bulge and are at risk of bursting.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clots in the deep veins of the legs.
Types of Angiography We Perform
As a specialized Endovascular Clinic, we focus on evaluating the entire vascular system (beyond just the heart).
- Peripheral Angiography The most common procedure at our clinic. We map the blood flow in the legs and arms to detect blockages that cause pain or threaten limb amputation.
- Renal Angiography Evaluates the arteries supplying the kidneys. This is vital for patients with unexplained kidney failure or hypertension.
- Cerebral (Brain) Angiography Visualizes blood vessels in the brain to detect aneurysms or risk of stroke.
- Visceral Angiography Examines blood flow to the intestines and other abdominal organs to diagnose internal bleeding or ischemia.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is Angiography painful? A: No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia. You may feel a slight prick when the anesthesia is given, but the movement of the catheter inside the body is painless.
- How is this different from a CT Angiography (CT Scan)? A: A CT Angiography is a scan done from the outside. A catheter Angiography (DSA) is done from the inside. DSA is considered the "Gold Standard" because it offers higher detail and, most importantly, allows the doctor to treat the problem (e.g., open a blockage) immediately if found.
