Radial Approach to Coronary Procedures

We are one among the very few hospitals to have almost completely adopted the radial approach to perform various invasive coronary procedures. This approach calls for guiding pre-shaped catheters to the relevant coronary artery through the radial artery located in the wrist. The radial access option is rapidly replacing the conventional femoral access approach owing to the relative advantages it provides in managing patients. The approach cuts down the chances of certain common post-procedure complications, even with patients with non-conducive conditions. Importantly, the radial approach happens to be most beneficial to the patients in terms of reduced pain, discomfort, hospital stay, cost and of course, a drastically reduced incidence of complications.

Radial Lounge

After the radial coronary procedure, patients spend few hours relaxing in a specially designed radial lounge before being discharged the same day, making it virtually an outpatient procedure.

Preventive Cardiology

We strongly believe in the popular saying ‘prevention is better than cure.’ We are committed and are working on quite a few unique initiatives to facilitate awareness about the risk factors and proven preventive methods. One of them is a 'Cardiac Check and Care' package -for those with primary symptoms or with greater risk factors. This involves all primary checks and extended diagnostics
on a need basis followed by educative instructions on preventive techniques and management.
