Advanced Heart Procedures

St. Catherine Hospital - Garden City’s cardiac cath lab is home to a wide variety of diagnostic and treatment techniques that allow our cardiac experts to tailor care for the very specific needs of individual patients. We offer a complete range of state-of-the-art care, including diagnostic heart catheterizations, peripheral interventions, and implantations such as pacemaker or defibrillator implants.

Our new cath lab opened in March 2026, bringing life-saving care to our community. Conditions treated in the cath lab include congenital heart disease, arteriosclerotic heart disease, valvular disease, arrhythmias, peripheral vascular disease, pulmonary disease, and neurovascular disease.

Cath Lab Procedures

Cardiac Catheterization is a procedure in which a tube is inserted into the heart vessels or heart chamber through one of the large arteries in the body. The process may be for the diagnosis or treatment of different cardiac problems.

The cath lab at St. Catherine Hospital – Garden City is equipped with a state-of-the-art procedure room for performing numerous heart and vessel imaging studies and treatments. In the cath lab, trained specialists identify and diagnose heart problems, use medicines to dissolve blood clots, re-open blood vessels and remove obstructions within blood vessels. Although cardiac catheterization is a highly specialized technique, nearly 1 million are performed each year in the U.S.

Our Team

Our cath lab team includes an interventional cardiologist, radiology technologists, nurses and cardiovascular technicians. All of our staff members are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). In addition, the cath lab has an emergency crew available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a response time of under 30 minutes. We strive to give the best and most comprehensive care to our patients and their families.
