Complex Coronary Interventions

Sometimes heart disease patients have calcified blockages in their arteries. A rotablator is a small drill (that rotates at 200,000 times/min) with a burr on the end coated in diamond dust. The rotablator is small enough to fit in an artery and strong enough to drill through the calcified plaque. As the rotablator breaks up the blockage, it grinds the plaque into tiny pieces that can be safely carried away by the bloodstream thereby restoring blood flow.

These exciting developments are already saving lives today, and will most likely translate into lower cost procedures and better outcomes for patients in India, especially in geriatric healthcare.

Dr. Sai Satish has performed over 10,000 Coronary Interventions with one of the highest number of Rotablations in India (over 120/year). He is also an International Proctor for Rotablation & Complex Coronary Procedures. In addition to this, Dr. Sai has also performed over 1,000 Peripheral Angioplasties including Renal & Carotid.
