With the opening of a second interventional radiology catheterization laboratory (Cath lab), Narayana Hospital RN Tagore Hospital, Mukundapur, is now the first hospital in Eastern India with the capacity to carry out simultaneous interventional treatments. The institute’s ability to provide advanced vascular and oncological care is greatly increased by this new Cath lab, which has ground-breaking technologies and positions it as a pioneer in treatment outcomes and innovation.

The first Canon Cone Beam CT Interventional Cath Lab system in India, which offers improved precision, lower radiation exposure, and increased system mobility for better patient access, is installed in the new dual interventional cath lab. Better patient access, more sophisticated device guidance, more television monitors, the ability for larger teams and trainees to watch procedures from various angles, enhanced educational opportunities, and the establishment of Narayana Hospital RN Tagore Hospital as a leading treatment and training center for patients and interventionists throughout India are all features of the advanced setup.

The institution’s renowned aortic team, which consists of cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, and interventional radiologists, will benefit greatly from this additional cath lab. They will perform complex aortic procedures, including more recent ones that use cutting-edge closure devices to remove surgical scars and speed up recovery. Acute stroke and other neurovascular and oncological operations will also be benefitted.

Dr. Shuvro H Roy Choudhury – Director & Clinical Lead of Interventional & Endovascular Radiology said, “We are the most experienced unit in the area in terms of case volume, training numbers, and skill. Installing our first cone beam CT Cath lab in 2014 was a game-changer. Our capabilities have been significantly expanded with the acquisition of this second facility. The new lab’s enhanced observation capabilities and sophisticated visualization and guidance technology enable processes to be seen from many perspectives, offering a thorough therapeutic and educational experience”.

Narayana Hospital RN Tagore Hospital provides minimally invasive treatments for a range of vascular diseases in addition to cardiac care. These include varicose veins, blocked dialysis access channels, and diabetic foot management in below-knee vascular illness. Uterine fibroids, prostate enlargement, and liver, kidney, and lung malignancies were among the other ailments that were treated. The institute’s dedication to broadening the range of minimally invasive medical procedures and improving patient outcomes across disciplines is demonstrated by this multidisciplinary approach. By merging cutting-edge technology with unparalleled clinical experience to assist patients and improve medical knowledge, Narayana Hospital RN Tagore Hospital continues to strive for excellence in healthcare delivery, which is reflected in the integration of the Canon system.

This major expansion strengthens Narayana Health RN Tagore Hospital’s status as a center of excellence and a beacon of innovation in India’s healthcare system, reinforcing its leadership in cardiovascular and oncology sciences.
