Coronary Angioplasty in Bangalore
Coronary Angioplasty, also known as
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a minimally
invasive procedure to open narrowed or blocked coronary
arteries. It improves blood flow to the heart muscle, relieves
chest pain (angina), and prevents heart attacks. At our
advanced interventional cardiology center in Bangalore, we
offer both standard and complex angioplasty procedures with
the latest imaging and guidance technologies.
"Advanced imaging-guided PCI enhances precision during
angioplasty, ensuring better outcomes for even the most
complex heart blockages."
Led by Dr. Basavaraj Utagi, a skilled
interventional cardiologist with over 13 years of experience,
our center specializes in treating simple to high-risk
coronary artery disease using cutting-edge techniques like
IVUS, OCT, rotablation, and complex CTO interventions.
Image-Guided Angioplasty (IVUS & OCT)
-
IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound): A
catheter-based ultrasound that provides real-time
cross-sectional images of the artery from inside,
helping assess plaque burden, vessel size, and stent
placement accuracy.
-
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography):
Uses light-based imaging for ultra-high resolution
visuals of the artery, guiding precise stent deployment
and detecting micro-plaque or dissection
post-angioplasty.
-
Benefits: Enhanced procedural safety,
reduced stent failure, better long-term outcomes in both
simple and complex lesions.
Complex Angioplasty Expertise
-
CTO (Chronic Total Occlusion) Angioplasty:
CTOs are complete blockages that have persisted for over
three months. We use advanced techniques such as
antegrade and retrograde approaches, guided by IVUS/OCT,
to successfully open these challenging lesions.
-
Left Main Stenting: The left main
coronary artery supplies a large portion of the heart.
Precision stenting in this region requires exceptional
expertise, image guidance, and careful post-procedure
monitoring—areas where our team excels.
-
Rotablation (Rotational Atherectomy):
In calcified or rigid plaques, rotablation is used to
drill through hard deposits, allowing proper stent
expansion. It is typically used in high-risk, elderly
patients or diabetics with severely calcified arteries.
