In our advanced Cardiac Catheterization Lab, with our expert team of Cardiologists, we routinely perform diagnostic procedures like Coronary Angiography and therapeutic procedures like Coronary Angioplasty (with or without a stent). OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), which is the latest innovation and cutting-edge technology in our cath lab, helps by its ability to provide more detailed information about the inside of blood vessels and is what clinicians and patients would benefit from. This can help doctors determine the size and location of plaque buildups as well as the thickness and quality of arterial walls.
This information can be useful in selecting the appropriate type and size of stent to use during the procedure and verifying that the stent has been placed correctly and is functioning properly.” This can help reduce the risk of complications, such as stent thrombosis (the formation of blood clots within the stent) or re-narrowing of the artery (known as restenosis).
We also have the capability to do complex procedures, including Primary Coronary Angioplasties and non-coronary interventions, with expert hands. In addition, diagnostic Angiography of the Cerebrum, Carotid, Peripheral, and Renal circulation can be performed by specialist Consultants.
Every year, exceedingly more than 1000 procedures are performed by expert cardiologists in the Asha Hospital Cardiology Department, where patients receive top-quality, personalised care in a technologically advanced facility. Visits by internationally renowned cardiologists to our cathlab raise the bar of the work done in the Asha Hospital cathlab, which is very beneficial to our patients.
