Is it typical for a doctor to perform an ascending and descending venogram in the same sitting?

Arteriogram, also?: If it is a study of the legs, both an arteriogram and venogram can be performed at the same session but these study different structures. A CT scan is repeated at different times to catch the contrast agent in both the arteries and the veins. An ultrasound of both is performed at the same time but done using different techniques for the artery or the vein. Are you sure it was two venograms?

Can be done. : Ascending venogram or simply venogram is used to find blood clots or areas of narrowing / blockage. Access for the contrast injection is in the foot or ankle. Descending venogram is a test for venous insufficiency. A catheter is placed in your arm/neck and positioned in your pelvis. Contrast is injected while you are tiled to a near standing position. Dye going backwards is abnormal.
