ROTA (Rotational Atherectomy)
ROTA is a minimally invasive procedure used to break down hardened plaque (calcified deposits) in the arteries when standard angioplasty is not enough. It works by:
Using a rotating diamond-tipped burr to grind the plaque into tiny particles
Improving blood flow to the heart
Preparing the artery for stent placement
IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound)
IVUS is a high-resolution imaging technique used during angioplasty to get a detailed view of the inside of the arteries. It helps:
Measure the exact size and structure of blockages
Guide stent placement for better treatment outcomes
Detect hidden plaque that may not be visible in traditional angiography
IVL (Intravascular Lithotripsy)
IVL is an advanced technique used during angioplasty to treat hard, calcified blockages in the arteries. It uses shockwave energy to break up calcium deposits, making it easier to expand the artery and place a stent. It helps:
Fracture deep and resistant calcium in the artery wall
Improve stent expansion and placement in calcified lesions
Enhance safety by reducing the risk of vessel injury during angioplasty
