About the Treatment

It is relatively a new process and DESUN is one of the few hospitals in Kolkata where radial angiography is being performed very successfully. In this process, the catheter is guided through the wrist instead of the thigh. Less painful than conventional angiography and an overnight hospital stay is also not required. DESUN has all the experienced expertise and necessary equipments to perform such a complicated procedure.
