Coronary Angioplasty Rota Ablation

Coronary Angioplasty & Rota Ablation Therapy by Dr. Priyam Mukherjee
 

Dr. Priyam Mukherjee, a skilled and compassionate interventional cardiologist, offers expert care in Coronary Angioplasty and Rota Ablation Therapy for patients with complex and calcified coronary artery disease. With years of experience in handling high-risk cases, Dr. Mukherjee uses cutting-edge techniques to restore blood flow, relieve chest pain (angina), and prevent heart attacks—ensuring faster recovery and better outcomes.

What is Coronary Angioplasty?

Coronary angioplasty, also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure used to open up blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. A balloon-tipped catheter is inserted into the artery to widen the vessel, often followed by stent placement to keep the artery open.

When is it needed?

  • Chest pain (angina) due to blocked arteries

  • Acute heart attack (STEMI or NSTEMI)

  • Coronary artery disease not controlled by medication

Procedure Highlights:

  • Performed under local anesthesia

  • Radial or femoral access

  • Quick recovery, often within 24–48 hours

  • Same-day or next-day discharge in selected cases

What is Rota Ablation Therapy?

Rota Ablation (Rotational Atherectomy) is a specialized technique used during angioplasty for heavily calcified coronary arteries that cannot be treated by conventional balloon angioplasty alone.

 

  • Why Rota Ablation?

    • Calcified plaques make artery walls rigid

    • Traditional balloons may fail to expand the lesion

    • Rota ablation uses a tiny rotating burr to grind and remove calcium deposits, allowing successful stenting

    Ideal for:

    • Elderly patients with longstanding atherosclerosis

    • Patients with multiple comorbidities

    • Complex lesions or previous failed angioplasty
