Medica Group of Hospitals at its flagship facility Medica Superspecialty Hospital in Kolkata cured a 70-year-old man suffering from triple vessel disease, an extreme form of coronary artery disease (CAD). It develops when the major blood vessels supplying the heart become damaged or diseased) with the use of Rotapro Rotational Atherectomy System. A team of doctors from the cardiology department and the care team of Medica joined hands together for this remarkable case. The team put in their combined efforts under the leadership of Dr Soumya Patra, Consultant Cardiologist, Medica Superspecialty Hospital.
After consultation with the specialised team of medical experts, the patient was advised to undergo angioplasty with the help of Rotapro Atherectomy Device. Rotapro Rotational Atherectomy System is a new technology that was recently launched in India in April 2022. Rotapro, unlike the previous peddle-based system, is operated with the hands. This advanced system uses front-cutting and stable rotation of a diamond-tipped burr to facilitate safe ablation and simplify the complex process of angioplasty, allowing patients to be discharged within 24 hours.
Dr Patra said, “When the patient was brought to Medica for hospitalisation, he was in excruciating pain, and the operation was an absolute necessity. We chose Angioplasty with the help of Rotapro Atherectomy Device over a simple angioplasty, and that decision made the entire procedure successful. The recovery went very well because, in such procedures, the patient could be discharged from the hospital within 24 hours without any complications or sickness.”
