Peripheral angiogram and/or peripheral angiography is a test carried out to identify any blood vessel narrowing or blocked areas in the arteries supplying your pelvis, legs, knees, ankles, neck and less frequently, your arms. The angiogram will determine whether there is any Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). PAD can cause narrowings or blockages in your peripheral arteries causing pain, discomfort and tiredness (also referred to as claudication). The pain may disappear with rest. The procedure for Peripheral angiography is the same as coronay angiography.



Blocked arteries in lower parts of the body can lead to many complications such as leg pain, high blood pressure, or stroke. In the legs, blocked arteries can be painful and can cause cramping during walking. They can also contribute to wounds in the lower extremities from not healing properly.
