A member asked:
Can a doctor normally do a urinary catheterization when doing an angiogram lower extremities?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: Angiograms of the lower extremities are potentially long procedures with up to 6 hours of recovery time. If i know the procedure could be difficult due to complex intervention, i will consider inserting a urinary catheter in order to avoid having to move the patient when they need to urinate.
