The Catheterization Angiography Laboratory aims to provide minimally invasive catheter based radiological procedures to inpatients and outpatients for diagnostic evaluation and/or therapeutic intervention.The population served by the Cath Angio Lab is inclusive of all age spectrums from the neonate to the elderly patient with congenital heart disease, arteriosclerotic heart disease, valvular disease, arrhythmias, peripheral vascular disease, pulmonary disease, neurovascular disease, osteoporosis, uterine fibroids, liver cancer, and patients needing vascular access, feeding tubes, biliary or nephrostomy drainage tubes.The Cath Angio Lab specializes in adult and pediatric interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, neuroradiology, and interventional radiology. The diagnostic procedures performed in the lab typically use the administration of contrast media for visualization of selective anatomical structures and measurement of pressures and blood flow for determination of vascular integrity.Some of the procedures performed include:
  • Cardiac angiography
  • Cardiac electrophysiology study
  • Implantation of pacemakers and internal cardiac defibrillators
  • Angioplasty
  • Stent placement
  • Biopsy
  • Neuroangiography
  • Central venous access
  • Chemoembolization
  • Intravascular ultrasound
  • Coilings
  • Ablations
  • Valvuloplasty
  • Thrombolytic therapy
