Rotablation (Rotational Atherectomy)

In some cases, especially with long-term diabetes or kidney concerns, calcium can build up in the arteries like “scales,” making them hard and narrow.

Watch for Persistent Signs:

If you feel chest pain (Angina) that doesn’t go away with rest or regular medication, it may be a sign of a hardened blockage.

The KMC Diagnostic Edge:

Using advanced imaging like IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound), our specialists in Saravanampatti can see exactly how much calcium is present before deciding on the best treatment.

Proactive Monitoring:

We work with our Diabetology department to manage your sugar levels, which is the first step in preventing further calcium buildup.

Think of Rotablation as a highly sophisticated “cleaning” process for your arteries. It is performed with the same gentle care as a standard angioplasty but with specialized tools.

The Entry:

Just like an angioplasty, this is a “keyhole” procedure usually done through the wrist (Radial) or groin. You are kept comfortable and relaxed.

The “Diamond” Burr:

Physician uses a tiny, diamond-coated tip (the size of a grain of sand) that rotates at high speeds.

Gentle Clearing:

The burr safely “sands away” the hard calcium into microscopic particles that pass naturally through the bloodstream. The healthy, flexible parts of your artery are left untouched.

Final Support:

Once the path is clear and smooth, a Drug-Eluting Stent is placed to ensure long-term blood flow.

We ensure your recovery is as smooth as the procedure itself.

Dedicated Care:

You will stay in our Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU) for 24–48 hours, where our staff monitors your heart’s new, improved rhythm.

Rapid Recovery:

Because there are no large incisions, most patients are walking the next day and discharged shortly after.

Long-term Support:

We provide a specialized “Heart-Strong” plan, including medication management and follow-up visits at our Kurumbapalayam facility.
