Cardiologists and cath lab teams follow strict protocols to ensure accurate imaging, minimizing radiation exposure. Attention is given to patient comfort, safety, and thorough examination.

 Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI):

Procedure: PCI, commonly known as angioplasty, involves the use of a balloon catheter to open narrowed coronary arteries. The cath lab team, comprising cardiologists, cath technicians, and nurses, follows established guidelines for procedural safety, including sterile techniques, precise equipment usage, and close monitoring of patients during and after PCI.

Balloon Angioplasty:

Procedure: Balloon angioplasty employs a catheter with an inflatable balloon to widen narrowed arteries. Rigorous attention is paid to balloon inflation pressures and duration to prevent complications. Continuous monitoring ensures patient safety and optimal outcomes.

Stent Placement:

Procedure: Stents are placed to keep arteries open after angioplasty, reducing the risk of restenosis. The choice of stent and precise deployment are critical. Cardiologists collaborate with cath lab staff to select appropriate stents and ensure accurate placement.
