Kauvery Hospital in Trichy Expands Heart Treatment Options
Kauvery Hospital in Trichy is now offering a new heart procedure called Rotablation Angioplasty.
This is like using a tiny drill to clean out the pipes (arteries) that carry blood to the heart.
This drill removes hard stuff (calcium) that can block the pipes, especially in older people.
The hospital is the only one in the area that does this regularly.
Doctors are excited because it helps people who have tough heart problems get better.
Kauvery Hospital Heartcity in Trichy now offers Rotablation Angioplasty for complex coronary artery disease.
Rotablation, also known as Rotational Atherectomy, uses a diamond-tipped burr to remove calcium deposits in arteries.
The procedure is particularly beneficial for elderly patients and those with long-standing coronary artery disease.
Dr. S. Aravindakumar has performed 40 rotablation procedures at the hospital between 2019 and 2024.
Kauvery Hospital Heartcity is the only dedicated cardiac care facility in the Delta region offering this procedure routinely.
