Mater Private Network has opened its new, state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory (Cath Lab) at its Eccles Street hospital in Dublin, representing a significant €8 million investment in its cardiovascular services.
The new Cath Lab suite, part of a broader expansion to Mater Private Network’s cardiology services, will significantly enhance patient care, providing 24/7 access to cardiac procedures and testing, while reducing overall wait times and facilitating a better experience for patients.
With four Cath Labs in its flagship Dublin hospital and two in its Cork facility, Mater Private Network now operates six state-of-the-art Cath Labs offering 24/7 access, making the Network the unrivalled leader in private cardiac care in Ireland.
The new Cath Lab is equipped with the latest Siemens Artis Icono imaging system, supporting minimally invasive procedures for conditions such as congenital heart disease and aortic stenosis. The new Cath Lab can also be used for open-heart surgery, further increasing capacity for complex cardiac interventions throughout the Mater Private Network.
John Hurley, CEO of Mater Private Network, said, “With this new Cath Lab suite, we are well-positioned to continue providing high-quality cardiovascular care to our patients, effectively and efficiently, with simplicity. None of this work would be possible without our exemplary team of cardiac professionals and support staff, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their ongoing commitment and support.”
