A Cardiovascular Invasive Technologist, often referred to as a Cath Lab Technologist, is a healthcare professional specializing in assisting physicians during diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular procedures. This role involves working closely with patients, physicians, and other healthcare team members to provide high-quality care and ensure the safety and accuracy of procedures.

About the Department:

Our Cardiac Cath/EP department operates with high efficiency and specialized capabilities, maintaining five state-of-the-art catheterization labs and one minor procedure room. The department supports a wide range of services, including diagnostic catheterizations, coronary interventions, and complex structural heart procedures such as TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement), MitraClip implantation, transesophageal echocardiograms (TEE), and loop recorder implantations. Most procedures are performed under moderate sedation, with full anesthesia support and resources dedicated to both routine and advanced cases.

On average, each Cath lab manages approximately seven cases per day. Electrophysiology (EP) services are delivered through four dedicated labs, performing about four to five cases per lab daily and include advanced mapping and ablation.

The department is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of approximately 80 professionals, including Cardiovascular Invasive Specialists, Registered Nurses (RNs), EP Specialists, and essential support staff. Our team benefits from extensive cross-training opportunities, allowing staff to develop proficiency in both scrub and circulator roles, as well as across different departmental functions. This collaborative and flexible approach is ideal for individuals seeking to broaden their skill set and expand their experience in the cardiovascular field.

With a strong focus on teamwork, continuous learning, and professional growth, our department consistently ensures safe, high-quality patient care and smooth operations across all cardiac service lines.
