If you’re worried about a heart problem, you want more than just technology, you want expert doctors who understand what you’re going through. Our Cath Lab In Varanasi (Catheterisation Laboratory) is more than a room full of equipment. It’s where highly trained cardiologists, nurses and radiographers work together to diagnose and treat heart issues quickly and gently. We can look inside your heart and blood vessels without open‑heart surgery using tiny catheters and real-time imaging.
What is a Cath Lab?
We’ve built a dedicated catheterisation laboratory (Cath Lab) that allows our interventional cardiologists to diagnose and treat heart conditions with the least possible disruption to your life. In this specially equipped suite, our doctors gently insert a slender catheter through a tiny opening in your arm or groin and guide it toward your heart. We can view your arteries, valves and chambers on a screen with live imaging and address blockages or other issues immediately. Because this approach is minimally invasive, patients in our care usually enjoy a much quicker and more comfortable recovery than traditional surgery.
What Are Cath Lab Procedures?
A wide range of cath lab procedures can be carried out, depending on your condition. Common interventions include:
- Coronary angiography and angioplasty: Doctors inject contrast dye to visualise arteries and, if needed, use a balloon to open narrowed coronary vessels and improve blood flow.
- Stent placement: A small mesh tube (stent) may be inserted to keep an open artery from narrowing again.
- Valvuloplasty: A balloon catheter widens a narrowed heart valve.
- Rotablation and intravascular lithotripsy: Special devices break up calcium deposits in arteries.
- Cardiac ablation: Catheters deliver energy to correct abnormal heart rhythms.
These cath lab procedures are generally safer and less invasive than open surgery, with shorter recovery times.
When Might You Need a Cath Lab?
A cath lab visit is generally recommended when symptoms or test results suggest something isn’t right with your heart or blood vessels. You might be referred to our cath lab, if you’ve been experiencing:
- Persistent chest pain or tightness that doesn’t go away.
- Unexplained shortness of breath, fatigue or fainting spells.
- Irregular heartbeats or a racing heart that’s not responding to medication.
- Results from a stress test, ECG, or echocardiogram hint at a blocked artery or valve problem.
- High blood pressure in the arteries leading from your heart to your lungs (pulmonary hypertension).
- A known congenital heart defect that needs closer investigation.
If any of these apply to you, your cardiologist may recommend a cath lab evaluation to pinpoint the cause and decide on the best treatment. We’ll walk you through the reasons for the test and make sure you feel comfortable and well-informed about the next steps.
