“While angioplasties are performed to open the blocked arteries by placing a stent, but in most of the cases where the arteries are severely calcified, PTCA alone doesn’t seem to be an effective treatment module. At Max Hospital, we specialize in treating these calcified lesions with the help of rotablation. In Rotablation, the very fine diamond burr is used to remove calcium from the coronary arteries and a stent can then be placed.” Said Dr. Nityanand Tripathi, Associate Director, Cardiology, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh

With the technical expertise available to us for such complex procedures, we have a success rate of over 90%.” Said Dr. RashiKhare, Consultant, Cardiology, Max Hospital, Shalimar Bagh
