What is angiography?

Colloquially known as angio, this operation is practiced to diagnose and provide treatment. Angiography means to monitor body veins. A medicament described as contrast substance is injected into the vein to make veins visible and films called as angiogram are obtained. Thanks to angiography, the veins that feed organs are monitored and diagnosis information about vascular diseases or organs fed by these veins is obtained. Classic method of angio to provide treatment is angioplasty. This is performed to reopen narrow or fully plugged veins by using special tools called balloon or stent.

In light of the information given above, both angiography and angioplasty operations do not invalidate fasting because these are not considered as eating and drinking (Decision by HBRA dated 22.09.2005; see. Kasani, Bada’i, II, 98).
