Cardiac catheterisation labs are a critical part of an acute cardiac service. At Cabrini Malvern, our two versatile and purpose-built labs have sophisticated imaging systems central to minimally invasive cardiac and cardiovascular procedures. The systems are faster and more efficient than conventional models, so patients spend less time on the operating table.
Hybrid theatres, which are becoming more common in major hospitals around the world, match real time imaging with scans taken preoperatively. In Cabrini’s state-of-the-art hybrid theatres our specialists can pivot if needed from a minimally invasive operation to conventional heart surgery without moving the patient, as all staff and equipment are already in place.
Rehabilitation programs
Cabrini’s rehabilitation specialists help you to plan and achieve recovery goals that work best for you, your family and your lifestyle.
We identify opportunities to improve your physical, emotional and social wellbeing, providing education and support to help manage your heart condition. Cabrini rehabilitation programs help you get on with life.
