Chronic Total Occlusion Interventions in Bangalore
Chronic Total Occlusion, or CTO, refers to a coronary artery that has been completely blocked for a long period. CTO interventions are among the most technically challenging coronary procedures and require advanced equipment, specialised techniques, and experienced interventional planning.
Dr. Sreekanth Shetty has expertise in CTO interventions as part of complex coronary angioplasty. CTO treatment may help restore blood flow to areas of the heart that are receiving reduced circulation through alternate small vessels.
Who May Need CTO Intervention?
Patients with chronic chest pain, breathlessness, reduced exercise tolerance, known complete coronary blockage, failed medical therapy, or significant symptoms despite treatment may require evaluation for CTO angioplasty.
