Cardiac Catheterization


The Specialty Hospital catheterization lab is the fore front of cath labs among regional hospitals as it serves more than 3500 patients who undergo cardiac catheterization, angioplasty or other interventional procedures every year.

Cardiac catheterization has become a prime tool for visualizing the heart and blood vessels, diagnosing and treating heart disease. Our innovative cardiologists and our national renowned cardiothoracic surgeons have helped in establishing The Specialty Hospital's pioneering heart care center.

The cath labs have three x-ray systemsGE Innova 630 biplane,Integeric Philips and AlluraXper FD20, one of the most modern fixed x-ray systems in the world. It’s also provided with a Hybrid Cardiac Catheterization room, that helps the physician to work in a comfortable and effective manner.

GE Innova 630 biplane is a biplane cardiovascular and interventional X-ray system. It is designed to consistently provide excellent imaging performance for a full range of interventional X-ray procedures, Such as: Cardiac, neuro, general vascular diagnosis and intervention, electrophysiology and a range of non- vascular interventional procedures.

The system features Innova CT HD, GE’s next generation of 3D imaging providing fine image details for visualizing soft tissues and small devices such as intracranial stent struts. With the new generation of GE’s advanced interventional imaging software solution, ASSIST, you can expand your clinical versatility and successfully plan, guide and assess increasingly sophisticated procedures with greater precision and dose efficiency.
