Rotablation uses a tiny drill with a small rotating cutting blade which is used to open a blocked artery and revamp the flow of blood to or from the heart.
Often a stent is inserted in the artery to keep it from re-narrowing.
It has a diamond-tipped burr, powered by compressed air to break up calcified plaque (hard block) that is clogging the coronary artery.
The tip spins at a high speed and grinds away the plaque in artery walls, microscopic particles are washed away in bloodstream.
Once this has been done, a balloon can be inserted, and the angioplasty can proceed as normal.
"Dr. Sharath Reddy is the best cardiologist in Hyderabad. We underwent the heart treatment under him. We are very happy with the treatment."
I would like to thank Dr Sharath Reddy and his team for the excellent cardiac care and treatment provided to me. I have been given all the information and advice to lead my life in a comfortable way after the procedure. I can’t thank you enough for all your time, hard work, and patience. I truly appreciate your caring dedication.
My brother had severe dyspnoea (shortness of breath) and it was difficult for him to walk for even very small distances. He had severe pedal oedema (feet swelling) and was not able to do routine activities on his own. But after TAVI procedure he is able to breathe well and walk comfortably for small distances without any difficulty. Within a short time after the TAVI procedure he is performing his routine own activities. We are grateful to the cardiac team at Medicover Hospitals.
