Precision Heart Care. Advanced Interventional Cardiology.
Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory
The Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab) at Villoo Poonawalla Memorial Hospital is a state-of-the-art facility designed for diagnosing and treating heart and vascular conditions through minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. Our lab is equipped with advanced imaging technology and led by a team of expert interventional cardiologists and cardiac technicians.
What is a Cath Lab?
A Cath Lab is a specialized unit where procedures like angiography, angioplasty, and stenting are performed. These procedures involve guiding thin catheters through blood vessels to the heart to diagnose or treat conditions like blocked arteries, heart valve diseases, or structural heart problems—without the need for open-heart surgery.
Key Procedures Performed
- Coronary Angiography – To visualize heart arteries and detect blockages
- Angioplasty & Stenting – To open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries
- Pacemaker & ICD Implantation – For patients with arrhythmias or heart rhythm issues
- Balloon Valvuloplasty – For treating narrowed heart valves
- Right & Left Heart Catheterization – For measuring pressures and blood flow in the heart
Why Choose Our Cath Lab?
- Advanced digital imaging systems for precision-guided procedures
- Highly experienced interventional cardiologists
- Faster recovery times with minimally invasive methods
- Infection-controlled environment and sterile protocols
- Emergency cardiac care for heart attacks and acute conditions
