It is performed using a local anesthetic, which means you’ll be awake while the procedure is Catheter, a long thin flexible tube is inserted into the leg or arm through a tiny incision. After positioning the catheter at the right place into the blood vessels, a contrast dye is injected through this catheter. This helps to take -ray of the blood vessels to visualize the flow of contrast dye into these blood vessels and visualize the flow of contrast dye within blood vessels. Due to a very small incision at the skin surface, a peripheral catheterization is usually well accepted by the patient without any significant discomfort, patient needs to lay flat on their back during this procedure. Lidocaine is injected at the skin surface to numb the skin and tiny catheters are inserted then. No presence of nerves inside the blood vessels, patient does not feel catheter inside the body after inserting it in the body. Minimal sedative is provided to the patient before the procedure.
