Safely remove rock-hard, calcified blockages from your coronary arteries. Consult Dr. Anshu Kabra for cutting-edge, minimally invasive calcium modification without open-heart surgery.
Over time, plaque inside the arteries can harden into rigid calcium. When this happens, traditional balloon angioplasty is often completely ineffective. Left untreated, severe calcification leads to major cardiac events. Look out for these indicators:
Experiencing frequent, intense chest pain or pressure that doesn't easily go away with rest, indicating a critically rigid blockage.
In infants and children, congenital defects can cause severe exhaustion during feeding, leading to poor weight gain and stunted physical development.
Being told that your blockages are too complex for stents and that you require highly traumatic open-heart bypass surgery (CABG).
Orbital Atherectomy is a highly advanced technique used to treat severely calcified lesions. Using a diamond-coated crown that rotates in an orbital motion, the procedure gently sands away the hardened calcium. This creates a smooth channel, allowing for the safe and perfect placement of a life-saving stent.
A precision catheter-based technique performed without opening the chest, designed for the most stubborn calcified vessels.
Dr. Kabra utilizes advanced imaging techniques, such as Coronary Angiography and IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound), to precisely map the thickness and location of the calcium inside your artery.
Under local anesthesia, a catheter is introduced through your wrist or groin. The diamond-coated crown is advanced to the blockage and activated, spinning rapidly to gently sand away the rigid calcium into microscopic particles.
With the hard calcium removed, a drug-eluting stent is effortlessly deployed and expanded perfectly against the newly softened artery walls. Patients typically experience immediate relief and are discharged within 24 to 48 hours.
I was told my blockage was too hardened to treat safely. Dr. Kabra used a technique I hadn't even heard of and it worked. I felt the difference in my breathing within days.
