A  catheterization laboratory(Cath Lab) at Benjamin Mkapa hospital ebnabkes our team of Doctors, nurses and technicians to perform diagnostic and interventional procedures related to the heart and vascular system. These procedures are typically minimally invasive and involve the use of catheters (thin, flexible tubes) that are inserted into the body through blood vessels.

We are experiencesd in diagnosing and treating conditions such as:

  1. Coronary artery disease (blockages in the arteries of the heart)
  2. Angioplasty and stent placement (to open narrowed or blocked arteries)
  3. Electrophysiology studies (to diagnose and treat arrhythmias)
  4. Valvuloplasty (repairing or replacing heart valves)
  5. Cardiac catheterization (measuring pressure and flow in the heart)
