Jehangir Hospital’s state-of-the-art Catheterisation Suite redefines the standards of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for cardiac, neurovascular, vascular conditions, and interventional procedures. This advanced facility is not merely an expansion of infrastructure but marks a transformative milestone in the hospital’s journey towards delivering cutting-edge medical care.
Spanning an impressive 4,000 square feet, the Catheterisation Suite doubles the hospital’s capacity for interventional procedures. Housing dual Cath Labs, this meticulously designed facility enhances the patient experience at every stage of their medical journey. Operating 24/7, it ensures that critical interventions are always available. Its features prioritise both comfort and efficiency, including:
1. Radial Lounge
The radial lounge exemplifies Jehangir Hospital’s patient-first philosophy. Designed for comfort and faster recovery, it provides a calming environment where patients can rest post-procedure, often walking back to recovery within hours.
2. Consultation Chambers
Clear communication is vital in healthcare. These chambers streamline doctor-patient interactions, enabling transparent discussions about procedures, expectations, and recovery plans.
3. Pre- and Post-Operative Wards
Supporting patients throughout their treatment journey, these wards offer comprehensive care before and after procedures to ensure optimal outcomes.
4. In-House Pharmacy
Quick and seamless access to medications is integral to continuity of care. The in-house pharmacy ensures that prescribed medications are readily available without delay.
Cutting-Edge Technology Redefining Interventional Procedures
Jehangir Hospital’s Catheterisation Suite is equipped with world-class technologies that elevate the accuracy, safety, and efficacy of interventional procedures. Notable innovations include:
Detailed imaging for optimal stent placement during angioplasty.
High-resolution visuals of blood vessels for precise interventions, reducing complications.
Precision assessments of arterial conditions for targeted treatments.
A groundbreaking approach for managing calcified plaques, ensuring safer outcomes in challenging cases.
These innovations enable the management of complex cases with unmatched precision and efficiency. Advanced tools shorten recovery times, allowing minimally invasive treatments that significantly enhance patient quality of life. With the suite’s 24/7 availability, every minute saved is a step closer to saving lives.
Comprehensive Care Across Specialities
The suite brings together specialists from cardiology, neurology, and vascular interventions, supported by in-house anaesthetists. This multidisciplinary collaboration ensures comprehensive care tailored to individual patient needs. The team is further supported by a state-of-the-art Emergency Department, with protocols designed for quicker response times.
The Clinical Codes, such as Code Stroke and Code Cardiac, streamline mechanisms to ensure proper outcomes. Interventions begin as soon as the ambulance reaches the patient’s doorstep or the hospital. The suite is also supported by an advanced Intensive Care Unit, guaranteeing seamless postoperative recovery.
Code Cardiac - A Blueprint for Swift Cardiac Emergency Response
The hospital’s Golden Hour Protocols and reduced Door-to-Balloon Time strategies are hallmarks of its focus on urgent care. “Code Cardiac” exemplifies this approach. When activated for a cardiac emergency, a specialised team assembles swiftly in the Emergency Room (ER), including cardiac nursing staff, 2D Echo technicians, support staff, and counsellors. The on-call cardiologist is promptly alerted, and administrative tasks are expedited bedside in the ER. This ensures timely intervention while allowing family members to remain involved.
Following ER assessment, patients are transferred to the Cath Lab for essential cardiac intervention, with continuous monitoring and ventilatory support if required, ensuring safety throughout the process.
Specialised Services Across Disciplines
Jehangir Hospital’s Catheterisation Suite caters to a wide spectrum of services which include
Cardiac Interventions
A diagnostic procedure that uses X-ray imaging to view the blood vessels of the heart. It helps identify blockages or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
A minimally invasive technique to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries using a balloon or stent, improving blood flow to the heart.
Advanced techniques to treat chronic total occlusions (CTO) or high-risk complex coronary conditions using specialised devices and methods.
Angioplasty procedures assisted by advanced imaging tools like Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) or Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for precise treatment.
Procedures used to treat calcified or hardened blockages in arteries. These techniques ensure safer stent placement by breaking down the hardened plaques.
A measurement technique to assess the severity of blood flow blockages in coronary arteries and guide treatment decisions.
A non-invasive tool to measure blood flow in the heart arteries during rest, helping evaluate the need for intervention.
A procedure to remove excess fluid from the sac around the heart, relieving symptoms like chest pain or difficulty breathing.
Minimally invasive procedures to repair or replace damaged heart valves, including transcatheter techniques for severe valve diseases.
Closing holes or defects in the heart (such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, or patent ductus arteriosus) without open-heart surgery.
Implanting a small device to help regulate a slow or irregular heartbeat, improving heart rhythm and function.
An advanced pacemaker technique that stimulates the heart's natural conduction system for more physiological heart rhythms.
A device implanted to detect and stop life-threatening irregular heart rhythms, delivering an electric shock if needed.
Devices implanted to improve heart function and synchronise heartbeats, especially for patients with heart failure.
A diagnostic and treatment procedure to identify and correct abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) using radiofrequency energy.
A procedure to widen narrowed sections of the aorta (the main artery) using a stent, improving blood flow.
Imaging and catheter-based techniques to diagnose or treat structural heart defects present from birth.
A procedure to open narrowed mitral valves in the heart using a balloon catheter, improving blood flow.
A treatment for narrowed pulmonary valves, where a balloon is used to widen the valve and restore normal blood flow to the lungs.
A similar balloon-based procedure for treating a narrowed mitral valve, often caused by conditions like rheumatic heart disease.
Neuro & Peripheral Procedures
An imaging technique to visualise blood vessels clearly, often used to diagnose vascular disorders in the brain and body.
Treatments for vascular conditions in the brain, including strokes, aneurysms, or vascular malformations, using minimally invasive techniques.
A procedure to treat brain aneurysms by placing coils inside the aneurysm, reducing the risk of rupture and stroke.
Opening narrowed arteries in the neck or brain with stents to prevent strokes and restore blood flow.
A treatment for large or complex brain aneurysms, redirecting blood flow away from the aneurysm to promote healing.
An emergency procedure to remove blood clots from arteries in the brain, restoring blood flow during a stroke.
Minimally invasive techniques to block abnormal blood vessels (AVM/AVF) or tumour-related blood supply, reducing risks and aiding treatment.
Imaging and treatments for blocked or narrowed blood vessels in the arms, legs, or other parts of the body.
Procedures to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels outside the heart, improving circulation and relieving symptoms.
A procedure to create a new pathway in the liver to reduce high blood pressure in the veins and treat complications of liver disease.
A procedure to relieve bile duct blockages and restore bile flow, often caused by tumours or stones.
A minimally invasive method to collect a liver tissue sample through the veins, reducing complications in high-risk patients.
A long-term intravenous access device placed in the arm for delivering medications or nutrition.
A catheter placed for long-term dialysis or chemotherapy, ensuring effective treatment with minimal discomfort.
A minimally invasive procedure to treat a bulging or weakened section of the aorta using a stent graft.
A treatment for liver cancer that delivers chemotherapy directly to the tumour while blocking its blood supply.
Procedures to block blood flow to abnormal or problematic vessels, reducing bleeding or treating conditions like tumours.
A treatment for fibroids or excessive uterine bleeding, reducing blood supply to the affected area.
A procedure to remove blood clots from arteries, restoring blood flow and preventing tissue damage.
A small device placed in the inferior vena cava to prevent blood clots from travelling to the lungs and causing pulmonary embolism.
The suite’s advanced technology minimises radiation exposure for both patients and doctors, ensuring safer procedures and better outcomes.
