24×7 State of art Cathlab
About 24×7 State of art Cathlab
The Cath Lab is a specialised cardiac diagnostic and interventional facility used for procedures such as angiography, angioplasty, and stent placement. It enables minimally invasive treatment of heart vessel blockages without open surgery.
The unit operates 24×7 to manage emergency heart attacks and planned cardiac interventions with advanced imaging technology.
Overview
High-resolution fluoroscopic imaging allows cardiologists to visualise coronary arteries in real time and detect blockages accurately.
Rapid intervention during cardiac emergencies significantly improves survival and reduces long-term heart damage.
Workflow
- Step 1: Pre-Procedure Assessment Patient evaluation, blood tests, consent, and vital monitoring are completed before the procedure.
- Step 2: Catheter Insertion A thin catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin artery under local anesthesia.
- Step 3: Contrast Imaging Special dye is injected to visualise coronary arteries on live imaging.
- Step 4: Cardiac Intervention If blockage is detected, balloon angioplasty or stent placement is performed.
- Step 5: Post-Procedure Monitoring Patient is monitored for a few hours before discharge or ICU transfer if required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cath Lab at Nano Hospitals? +
Nano Hospitals’ Cath Lab is a specialized facility equipped to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels using minimally invasive, image-guided procedures.
What procedures are performed in the Cath Lab at Nano Hospitals? +
The Cath Lab supports procedures such as coronary angiography, angioplasty, stent placement, cardiac catheterization, and other interventional cardiac procedures.
What equipment is available in the Cath Lab at Nano Hospitals? +
The Cath Lab is equipped with advanced imaging and monitoring systems that help cardiologists visualize the heart and blood vessels during procedures.
How does a Cath Lab help cardiologists? +
It provides real-time imaging and monitoring, allowing cardiologists to accurately assess the heart and guide minimally invasive procedures.
Is a Cath Lab the same as an operation theatre? +
No. A Cath Lab is specifically designed for cardiac and vascular procedures using specialized imaging equipment, while an operation theatre is designed for surgical procedures.
What type of monitoring is done in a Cath Lab? +
Patients are continuously monitored using specialized equipment to track vital signs and heart activity throughout the procedure.
Is a Cath Lab procedure minimally invasive? +
Many procedures performed in a Cath Lab are minimally invasive and are carried out through a small access point rather than through open surgery.
How long does a patient stay in the Cath Lab? +
The time spent in the Cath Lab depends on the type of procedure and the patient's condition. The medical team will provide appropriate instructions.
Is the Cath Lab at Nano Hospitals equipped for advanced cardiac care? +
Yes. Nano Hospitals provides a specialized Cath Lab environment with advanced cardiac imaging, monitoring, and procedural support.
What precautions are taken in the Cath Lab? +
The Cath Lab follows appropriate infection-control, patient-monitoring, radiation-safety, and procedural safety protocols.
