The advanced setup provides enhanced patient access, advanced guidance systems for device placement, and multiple television monitors for larger teams and trainees to observe procedures from various angles. The facility is designed to handle complex aortic procedures, using advanced closure devices that minimize surgical scars and improve recovery times.
In addition to vascular care, the lab is equipped for oncological and neurovascular procedures, including acute stroke treatments.
“The new lab's advanced visualization and guidance technology and expanded observation capabilities allow procedures to be viewed from multiple angles, providing a comprehensive treatment and learning experience,” said Dr Roy Choudhury during a press briefing in Kolkata.
Sharing thoughts, R Venkatesh, Group COO of Narayana Health, said, “This facility will serve as a benchmark for integrated interventional, high-quality cardiac and vascular care.”
RN Tagore Hospital’s latest innovation underscores its commitment to improving patient outcomes and establishing itself as a leader in medical technology and care in Eastern India.
