Revolutionary Cath Lab Technology
-
A Major Leap Forward in Cardiology,
Neurology & Oncology Interventions
Chennai, August 13, 2025: Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Teynampet, has launched its
most advanced Cath Lab, a transformative addition to Chennai’s healthcare
infrastructure. This system is a specialised treatment room where doctors
perform highly complex, life-saving procedures without the need for open
surgery, empowering clinicians to work with greater speed, precision, and
patient safety across cardiology, neurology, and interventional oncology.
Mr. Harshad Reddy, Director, Group Oncology & International, Apollo
Hospitals, said, “The launch of advanced Cath Lab marks yet
another milestone in Apollo’s journey towards technology-driven, precision
care. This facility gives our doctors enhanced capabilities, they can make
better diagnosis, act faster in emergencies, and treat patients across
cardiology, neurology, and oncology with unprecedented safety and precision. This
advanced Cath Lab will enable patients to benefit from faster, minimally
invasive interventions and improved outcomes.”
Dr. A.L. Narayanan, Clinical Lead and HOD, Interventional Cardiology,
Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Teynampet, said, “Our new Cath Lab represents the future of interventional
medicine—safe, precise, and patient-centric. With superior imaging that
functions like GPS for the human body and real-time navigation, we are now
equipped to tackle some of the most challenging cardiac, neurovascular, and
oncological cases with confidence and speed. The ability to visualise vessels
and structures in such detail means we can perform complex interventions with
smaller incisions, reduced radiation exposure, and faster recovery times. It is
a significant step forward in ensuring timely, life-saving care for our
community.”
Positioned at the heart of the city,
the new Cath Lab leverages high-resolution 3D imaging, advanced stent motion
visualisation, comprehensive neurovascular support, and low-dose radiation
technology to deliver fast, safe, and targeted care. Patients suffering from
heart attacks, strokes, and complex vascular conditions, as well as certain
cancers, can now receive critical treatment through minimally invasive
procedures that require only small incisions or catheter insertions. The
enhanced precision and reduced need for open surgery offer quicker recovery,
improved outcomes, and the ability to save lives by acting swiftly in emergencies.
