    A Cath Lab is not a surgery in the traditional sense, but it is a specialized setting where minimally invasive procedures are performed to diagnose and treat heart conditions. Unlike open surgeries, procedures in the Cath Lab, such as angiograms, angioplasties, and stent placements, are done through small incisions or catheter insertion, often in a blood vessel. 

    These procedures do not require large incisions, and recovery times are usually shorter compared to traditional surgery. While the procedures are performed under the guidance of skilled cardiologists, they are considered interventional rather than surgical.
