Atherectomy

Atherectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and other cardiovascular disorders. It involves the use of a device to cut away plaque from the affected cardiovascular tissue. This is done under X-ray guidance to ensure the safety of the patient. Atherectomy can help improve blood flow to those areas, reduce pain and discomfort, and improve overall cardiovascular health. It is often used as a treatment for blockages that cannot be treated with medications or angioplasty, and it is less risky than open heart surgery. This procedure is less invasive and can help people with coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and other cardiovascular disorders manage their symptoms and hopefully improve their quality of life.
