Rotablation, also known as rotational atherectomy, is a highly advanced interventional cardiology procedure used to treat patients with severely calcified coronary arteries. In such cases, standard balloon angioplasty may not be sufficient due to hardened calcium deposits in the artery walls.

This specialised technique uses a high-speed rotating device to safely modify and remove calcified plaque, allowing the artery to expand properly. At SIMS Hospital, rotablation is performed by skilled interventional cardiologists to prepare the artery for successful balloon dilation and precise stent placement.

Rotablation significantly improves procedural success in complex coronary artery disease cases and reduces the risk of complications, making it an essential option for patients with advanced or long-standing heart blockages.
