Cardiac Care & Cathlab Treatment
At Dhanashree Hospital, Pimpari-chinchwad, our Cardiology Services deliver comprehensive heart care through advanced technology and evidence-based practices. Equipped with one of the most advanced Cath labs in Pune, we ensure precise diagnosis and safe, efficient cardiac interventions using high-resolution imaging and modern systems.
Our experienced cardiologists provide end-to-end cardiac care, from diagnostic angiography to advanced procedures such as angioplasty, stent placement, and bypass-related care. With a focus on safety, accuracy, and timely treatment, we deliver patient-centric care for both planned procedures and cardiac emergencies.

What is Cardiac Catheterization?
Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive heart procedure used to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions. A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through an artery in the wrist or groin and carefully guided to the heart.
Using contrast dye and real-time imaging, cardiologists can:
- Visualize coronary arteries
- Detect blockages or narrowing
- Assess heart valve function
- Measure heart chamber pressures
If required, treatment such as angioplasty or stent placement can be performed during the same procedure.
Patients remain awake throughout the procedure and usually return home the same day.
Cardiology Services at Dhanashree Hospital
Our cardiology department offers a wide range of non-invasive and invasive cardiac services, all managed under one roof for seamless care.
Coronary Angiography
Coronary angiography is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the blood flow in the coronary arteries. It helps identify blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities that may cause chest pain, shortness of breath, or heart attacks.
Performed through the wrist or groin
Uses contrast dye and X-ray imaging
Typically completed within 30–60 minutes
Same-day discharge in most cases
Coronary Angioplasty & Stent Placement
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive treatment used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. A small balloon is inflated at the blockage site, and a stent is placed to keep the artery open and restore normal blood flow.
- Treats coronary artery disease
- Reduces chest pain and heart attack risk
- Drug-eluting stents available
- Faster recovery compared to open surgery
Emergency Heart Attack Management (Primary PCI)
Time is critical during a heart attack. Our 24/7 Cathlab services ensure immediate diagnosis and emergency angioplasty to restore blood flow and minimize heart muscle damage.
Rapid response protocols
Round-the-clock cardiology team
Advanced imaging and monitoring
Intensive post-procedure care
Multi-Vessel Coronary Intervention
Patients with blockages in more than one artery can be treated through multi-vessel angioplasty, often in a single session, depending on clinical suitability.
Reduces need for multiple procedures
Carefully planned using advanced imaging
Personalized treatment strategy
Advanced Cardiac Interventions
We manage complex coronary conditions using specialized techniques, including:
Treatment of chronic total occlusions (CTO)
Management of heavily calcified arteries
High-risk angioplasty with advanced support systems
Bypass Surgery Evaluation & Referral
While bypass surgery (CABG) is a surgical procedure, our cardiology team plays a vital role in:
Diagnosing multi-vessel or complex coronary disease
Determining suitability for bypass surgery
Pre-surgical cardiac evaluation
Post-bypass cardiac follow-up and long-term care
Structural Heart Disease Procedures
Our Cathlab also supports treatment for certain structural heart conditions, including:
Closure of congenital heart defects
Selected valve-related interventions
Diagnostic and interventional support for complex cases
Cathlab Facilities at Dhanashree Hospital
Our state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cathlab) is designed to meet international safety and quality standards.
Key Advantages:
24/7 emergency Cathlab availability
High-resolution digital imaging systems
Strict infection control protocols
Experienced interventional cardiologists
Dedicated cardiac nursing and monitoring team
