| interventional angiography | <cardiology, surgery> The surgical repair of a blood vessel. A balloon angioplasty is a noninvasive procedure where a balloon-tipped catheter is introduced into a diseased blood vessel. As the balloon is inflated, the vessel opens further allowing for improved flow of blood. (12 Nov 1997) |
| therapeutic angiography | Use of angiographic catheters that have been modified to reduce or increase regional blood flow, or to deliver medicinal agents; interventional therapeutic angiography. See: angioplasty, balloon catheter, interventional angiography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fluorescein angiography | <procedure> The process of taking X-rays of blood vessels that have been injected with a special dye. The dye allows to person viewing the X-ray to see the blood vessels. (13 Nov 1997) |
