Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center has begun performing heart and vascular procedures in a new state-of-the-art hybrid operating room, which combines elements of a traditional catheterization lab used for standard, minimally invasive heart and vascular procedures and an operating room used for more advanced procedures such as heart bypass surgery, heart valve repair or replacement, and vascular surgery. For patients, the hybrid room offers improved efficiency and safety, as well as the option of having more than one procedure completed in one surgical setting. The hybrid room is incorporating robotic technology called Zeego, manufactured by Siemens, which can move 360 degrees around the patient providing surgeons and interventionalists with detailed images of blood vessels throughout the body.
