Rotablation is an advanced interventional technique used to treat heavily calcified coronary artery blockages. Calcium deposits can make angioplasty difficult because the artery may not expand properly with a balloon, and stent placement may not be optimal without adequate preparation.

Rotablation uses a specialised device to modify hard calcium within the artery, allowing the blockage to be prepared for balloon angioplasty and stenting. Dr. Sreekanth Shetty’s expertise includes calcified coronary vessel angioplasty and rotablation. His profile also highlights his adoption of advanced technologies such as intravascular shockwave lithotripsy.
