Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renal angiography, like other invasive procedures, carries risks including infection due to the introduction of a catheter into the body, allergic reactions to the contrast dye used during the procedure, blood clot formation as a result of damage to the blood vessels, and nerve injury due to the catheter's passage through the vascular system. Myocardial infarction is less directly related to the procedure itself and is not a common complication of renal angiography.
