Hello,

Venogram consists of injection of dye into the lower limb vessels to evaluate the patency and development of tributaries or collaterals after the stent.

It can be performed safely in hands of experts.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
