During the aortogram, a catheter is inserted into the groin, under local anesthesia, and guided to an artery in the abdomen. A contrast dye is injected into the area and images are taken as the dye moves throughout the body. After the aortogram, the patient will need to rest for a few hours and should drink plenty of liquids before returning to their regular activities. Exercise and other types of strenuous activity should be avoided for a week after this procedure.
