Cath Lab (Catheterization Laboratory) is a specialized medical facility within a hospital where minimally invasive procedures are performed to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions. It is equipped with advanced imaging technology that helps physicians visualize the arteries, veins, and chambers of the heart in real-time.
Benefits of Cath Lab Procedures:
- Minimally Invasive: Procedures are performed through small incisions, reducing recovery time.
- Shorter Hospital Stay: Many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis or with a brief hospital stay.
- Lower Risk: Compared to open-heart surgery, Cath Lab procedures have fewer complications and faster recovery.
- Real-Time Imaging: Allows precise diagnosis and treatment.
