World-Class Catheterization Lab at CSH Dubai
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.
Advanced Procedures and Technology
Coronary Angiography, Angioplasty, and Stenting: Our Cath Lab specializes in the direct imaging of heart arteries by injecting contrast agents to detect blockages. We treat these blockages using advanced techniques such as balloon angioplasty and stent placement, all performed in a high-tech environment with a Philips biplane system. This system provides impeccable image quality with minimal radiation exposure, ensuring patient safety and accurate diagnosis.
Key Procedures and Services
Our Cath Lab offers a variety of minimally invasive procedures, including:
Coronary Angiography: Detects blockages in the heart arteries.
Angioplasty and Stenting: Opens blocked arteries and restores blood flow using balloons and stents.
Electrophysiology Studies: Assesses and treats heart rhythm issues.
Valve Replacements: Minimally invasive procedures to replace damaged heart valves.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Accurate Diagnosis
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. During a coronary angiography procedure, a thin, flexible catheter is inserted into the patient's artery, typically through the groin or wrist. Once the catheter reaches the heart, a contrast dye is injected, and X-ray images are captured, revealing any blockages or abnormalities in the coronary arteries.
Minimally Invasive Interventions for Improved Outcomes
In addition to diagnostic procedures, our Cath Lab performs various minimally invasive interventions, including:
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.
