New Brunswick Cardiac Catheterization Lab

The New Brunswick Cardiac Catheterization Lab is in located in the Center for Ambulatory Resources (CARES).  The lab is outfitted for doctors to perform procedures such as cardiac catheterization; peripheral vascular angiograms; angioplasties to open clogged arteries in the arms, kidneys and legs; and pacemaker implantation.

The laboratory is unique for both its aesthetic decor and patient care philosophy. Natural design elements, which include a waterfall and Colorado River rocks embedded in the walls, create a special atmosphere to help minimize stress. The spacious waiting area and seven private recovery rooms provide comfortable, homelike surroundings for patients and their families.

The centerpiece of the facility is a spacious procedure suite with an advanced digital scanner that uses minimal radiation to capture crystal clear images. A robotic arm administers the contrast material that makes it possible to see the images. High-resolution monitors show "living" pictures of the arteries and beating heart. Thanks to a streamlined reporting system, patients receive their results before being discharged that same day, and results can be reviewed with the cardiologist on computer screens located in each private recovery room.
