BIPLANE CATH LAB

Biplane cath lab technology employs two X-ray sources and detectors to capture simultaneous images of the heart from different angles. This enhances both precision and safety during cardiac procedures. Biplane cath lab technology produces high- resolution images of the heart and its vessels, making it easier for doctors to identify and diagnose issues accurately.

Biplane cath lab technology used in Coronary Angiography, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), Valvuloplasty, Ablation, Closure of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO).

OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT)

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality that uses near-infrared light to provide high-definition images of the artery with high precision allowing to access lesion characteristics and plaque morphology for coronary artery disease. OCT provides automated, accurate measurements to help guide stent selection, placement, and deployment

EXTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION (ECMO)

ECMO is a life support technique that provides both cardiac and respiratory support to individuals whose heart and lungs are unable to provide adequate oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal for the body. ECMO is typically used in critical situations, such as severe respiratory failure or cardiac failure, where conventional treatments are insufficient. It allows the heart and lungs to rest and recover by temporarily taking over their functions.

ECMO can be used in various settings, including neonatal intensive care units, paediatric intensive care units, and adult intensive care units.

IMPELLA

IMPELLA, the world’s smallest heart pump is the only non surgical heart pump FDA- approved for patients undergoing high risk PCI and those with cardiogenic shock. Impella Heart Recovery Program, which was launched in several hospitals in India with the goal of recovery of native heart, has saved many lives worldwide in sub-group of patients undergoing Protected PCI & AMI -Cardiogenic Shock, Myocarditis, Cardiomyopathy, and Post Cardiotomy Cardiogenic Shock. It has also enabled patients who are waiting for a Heart Transplant to survive till they get a donor Heart.

The Impella Ventricular Support System acts as a blood pump that effectively bypasses the left ventricle, it supports blood pressure and provides increased blood flow to critical organs in patients with cardiogenic shock. This allows the left ventricle to rest and hopefully recover and resume pumping without support. Clinical evidence demonstrated that 58% of patients with cardiogenic shock who received the Impella device survived the procedure, and 67% of patients who left the hospital experienced myocardial recovery (they did not have another heart failure event) within 30 days of the procedure.

INTRAVASCULAR ULTRASOUND (IVUS)

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a diagnostic test. This test uses sound waves to see inside blood vessels. It is useful for evaluating the coronary arteries that supply the heart.

FRACTIONAL FLOW RESERVE (FFR)

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a technique used in coronary angiography to measure pressure differences across a coronary artery stenosis (blockage) to determine the likelihood that the stenosis impedes oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and thereby assess whether to open it or not.
