What are the differences between therapeutic angiography & diagnostic angiography?

Question

i need more detail answers rather than one is for diagnostic and the other is for therapy ;) maybe you can tell me the differences in terms of the procedures, technical etc. thanx~

Answer 1

For the most part, diagnostic is just the infusion of a dye and the a x-ray so the clinician can determine if there are any physical problems in or with the vessels.

Therapeutic is sometimes referred to as a "non-invasive surgical procedure. This could be anything from an angioplasty to stint placement to pacemaker placement to placing a graft through an aneurysm.
