Procedures Performed at Our Cath Lab

1. Coronary Angiogram (CAG)

A specialized test that uses contrast dye and X-ray imaging to detect blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries.

  • Helps diagnose the cause of chest pain
  • Determines the severity of coronary artery disease

2. Coronary Angioplasty & Stent

A minimally invasive procedure to restore blood flow to blocked arteries.

  • Balloon angioplasty
  • Drug-eluting stent implantation
  • Rotablation for calcified lesions
  • IVUS and OCT imaging for precision stenting

3. Primary Angioplasty for Heart Attack

Performed during an active heart attack to reopen blocked arteries immediately.

  • Reduces heart muscle damage
  • Improves survival rates
  • Faster recovery compared to thrombolysis

4. Pacemaker & ICD Implantation

Implantation of devices to correct abnormal heart rhythms.

  • Single/dual-chamber pacemakers
  • AICD (Automated Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator)
  • CRT/CRT-D for heart failure patients

5. Electrophysiology Study (EPS)

A detailed assessment of the heart's electrical system used to identify arrhythmias.

  • Mapping of electrical signals
  • Catheter-based treatment options (RF ablation)

6. Peripheral Angiogram & Angioplasty

Evaluation and treatment of blockages in:

  • Leg arteries
  • Renal arteries
  • Upper limb arteries

Helps patients with leg pain, non-healing ulcers, and peripheral vascular disease.
