The invasive coronary angiography is the gold standard in coronary artery disease evaluation. It is one of the most common operative procedures worldwide. This topic covered in detail would be extensive and the author provides his own, personal view of the indications, technique and complications of this diagnostic test. The advantages and disadvantages are provided together with the opinion about the current role of invasive coronary angiography in modern cardiology.
