The project began as a feasibility study to determine the ability of an existing cardiac catheterization lab to function as a hybrid operating room in order to meet the desire to perform complex patient cases between the interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery teams.
The design considered a completely revised layout of the existing room to enhance functionality of all teams, but also provide the ability to perform advanced electrophysiology studies as well as use of the room by the interventional radiology team. This project is the initial phase of three which includes a renovation of the cardiac catheterization lab and upgrades to the interoperative cardiac MRI lab.
