Coronary angiography is an imaging technique that visualises the coronary arteries by injecting contrast dye via a catheter, allowing assessment of blood flow and identification of arterial blockages. It is essential in diagnosing and guiding treatment for coronary artery disease, particularly in acute coronary syndromes. A key complication includes the risk of arterial injury or contrast-induced nephropathy.
