Common Cath Lab procedures include coronary angiography, coronary angioplasty, stent placement, cardiac catheterization and selected pacemaker procedures, depending on the patient's condition.

Coronary angiography is a diagnostic procedure used to view the coronary arteries and identify narrowing or blockages that may affect blood flow to the heart.

Angiography is mainly used to identify blockages in the coronary arteries. Angioplasty is a treatment procedure used to open a narrowed or blocked artery and restore blood flow.

Yes. Coronary angioplasty (PCI) is commonly performed in a Cath Lab using specialised imaging to guide the procedure.

Most Cath Lab procedures are performed using local anaesthesia at the catheter access site. You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort, but your medical team will monitor you throughout the procedure.

The duration depends on the procedure and the patient's condition. A diagnostic angiogram may be relatively quick, while angioplasty or other interventions can take longer.

Common warning signs include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, pain spreading to the arm, shoulder, jaw, or back, excessive sweating, nausea, dizziness, and unusual fatigue. If you experience these symptoms, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

Recovery varies depending on the procedure and your overall health. Your cardiologist will provide specific instructions about activity, medications and follow-up care.
