ROTA, IVL Guided Angioplasties in Bandlaguda

Rotational Atherectomy is a therapy done with a small rotating cutting blade which is utilized to open a blocked artery and revamp the blood flow to or from the heart. Regularly a stent (a tiny tube composed of metal mesh) is placed within the artery to keep it from re-narrowing.

When the plaque is too hard to be pushed aside by angioplasty, rotablation or rotational atherectomy plays a vital role.

IVL

Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) is a relatively novel technology utilized in angioplasty procedures to treat calcified coronary arteries lesions. This technique includes the use of sonic pressure waves to disturb or break calcified plaque, making it simpler to perform balloon angioplasty and stent placement. IVL is especially important in cases where heavily calcified lesions may pose challenges during traditional angioplasty procedures.

The use of IVL in angioplasty procedures gives a few advantages that include improved vessel compliance, reduced chance of complications related with calcium fracture, and enhanced stent expansion. It is particularly important in cases where heavily calcified lesions may block the success of traditional angioplasty.
