A catheterization lab, commonly known as a Cath lab, is an examination room in a hospital, clinic, or diagnostic center where several types of tests and procedures like ablation, angiogram, angioplasty, implantation of pacemakers, etc. are performed. However, a Cath lab is not an operation theatre. Heart surgeries like heart bypass operations are carried out in an operation theatre under general anesthesia. Whereas the patients in a Cath lab might be awake and will not be under general anesthesia while the procedures are carried out. A Cath lab is usually managed by a group of different specialists who will be led by a cardiologist.
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure performed to diagnose and treat certain types of cardiovascular diseases. A thin long tube called a catheter is inserted in an artery or vein or groin during this procedure. It is then threaded through the blood vessels to the heart. Cardiac catheterization also acts as a treatment for some cardiac problems like coronary angioplasty, and coronary stenting. In short, this procedure is sometimes performed to detect cardiac problems and sometimes to correct cardiac problems. This process involves less pain, low risk, and fast recovery time.
