Cardiac Catheterization Lab (Cath Lab)

The Cardiac Catheterization laboratories at Shifa are modern and high-tech facilities to offer a wide range of services. The Cath Lab setup covers facilities for undertaking noninvasive and invasive cardiac investigations including coronary angiography and angioplasty, insertion and testing of implantable devices (including pacemakers), EP studies, Catheter Ablation, etc.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

This minimally invasive surgical procedure repairs the valve without removing the old, damaged valve. Instead, it wedges a replacement valve into the aortic valve’s place.

TAVI has emerged as a major breakthrough in the field of interventional cardiology and now recognized as an alternative for selected patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), particularly for those patients who are considered an intermediate or high-risk patient for standard valve replacement surgery, who otherwise have limited choices for repair of their aortic valve.

Mitral Valve Clip

A mitral valve clip repairs the damaged mitral valve without the need for open-heart surgery. A small metal clip, about the size of a large staple, is attached to the patient’s mitral valve via a vein in the leg. The clip stays there permanently and helps your valve to function properly again.

Rotablation Angioplasty

Rotablation represents an addition to the standard Angioplasty procedure. While a standard Angioplasty procedure is limited to the use of balloons and stents, Rotablation also uses a tiny drill, powered by compressed air, to remove calcified deposits. Rotablation is usually followed by balloon angioplasty and the implantation of one or more stents.

Cardiac Imaging:

Cardiac imaging includes the modalities of computed tomography (CT), cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging, fluoroscopy, CT-Angio.
