At Canadian Specialist Hospital (CSH) in Dubai, our Catheterization Lab (Cath Lab) is equipped with world-class technology to provide comprehensive cardiac care. Our highly proficient doctors, supported by ultramodern equipment and non-invasive diagnostic laboratory facilities, offer a wide range of heart and vessel imaging studies and treatments. The lab features a state-of-the-art procedure room and monitored recovery rooms for post-procedure care, ensuring that cardiologists can diagnose and treat a multitude of heart problems effectively.
Our Cath Lab specializes in advanced procedures such as the angioplasty procedure, heart stent surgery, and cardiac stent placement. Using the latest technology, we perform these procedures with precision, ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes.
Our Cath Lab offers a variety of minimally invasive procedures, including:
Coronary Angiography: Detects blockages in the heart arteries using a thin, flexible catheter inserted into the artery, typically through the groin or wrist. This coronary angiogram procedure provides detailed images to diagnose coronary artery disease.
Angioplasty and Stenting: Opens blocked arteries and restores blood flow using balloons and stents. This involves guiding a balloon-tipped catheter to the site of blockage, inflating it to widen the artery, and placing a stent to keep it open.
Electrophysiology Studies: Assesses and treats heart rhythm issues.
Valve Replacements: Minimally invasive procedures to replace damaged heart valves.
Our Cath Lab is outfitted with the latest imaging technology, including:
High-Resolution X-ray Machines
Intravascular Ultrasound
Advanced 3D Mapping Systems
These tools allow our cardiologists to obtain detailed, real-time images of the heart and blood vessels, enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
In addition to diagnostic procedures, our Cath Lab performs various minimally invasive interventions:
Angioplasty and Stenting: A balloon-tipped catheter is guided to the site of the blockage, inflated to widen the artery, and a stent is inserted to keep the artery open.
Electrophysiology Studies and Ablation: Mapping the electrical activity of the heart and targeting areas causing abnormal rhythms with heat or cold energy to restore normal heart rhythm.
