2 years ago, we dared to dream - a dream we named the "Cath Lab." A dream born from decades of debt in our country. 543 procedures later, here we stand-undaunted, unwavering, giving our best. Our name woven into global registries. Now, the ACS System of Care must start.

We're proud to share that the third patient who underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in the Cath Lab of Hospital General was discharged without any in-hospital complications. Huge thanks to our outstanding multidisciplinary team who made this achievement possible!
