When standard angioplasty isn't enough. Dr. Anshu Kabra specializes in advanced Rotational Atherectomy to safely clear severely calcified, rock-hard blockages, preventing the need for open-heart bypass surgery.

Over time, cholesterol plaque inside the coronary arteries can harden into rock-solid calcium deposits. Standard angioplasty balloons cannot crack this calcium. You may require Rota-ablation if you fit the following profile:
You underwent an angiography, but the doctor was unable to pass a balloon or expand a stent because the arterial blockage was too dense and heavily calcified.
You have been told that your blockages are too severe for stents and that a highly invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is your only remaining option.
Experiencing relentless, severe chest pain and tightness, often associated with advanced age, diabetes, or long-term chronic coronary artery disease.
Rotational Atherectomy (Rota-ablation) is a highly sophisticated interventional technique used to modify rock-hard plaque. Using a microscopic, diamond-encrusted burr (drill), Dr. Kabra safely pulverizes the calcified blockage into microscopic particles.
Under local anesthesia, a highly specialized, ultra-thin guidewire is carefully navigated past the severely calcified blockage in the coronary artery using real-time imaging.
The diamond-coated burr is advanced over the guidewire. As it reaches the blockage, it rotates at high speeds, safely shaving the hard calcium into particles smaller than red blood cells, which wash away harmlessly in the bloodstream.
With the rock-hard calcium removed, a standard balloon and drug-eluting stent are easily passed into the artery and fully expanded, restoring optimal, healthy blood flow to the heart muscle.
Rota-ablation is one of the most technically demanding procedures in modern cardiology. Because of its complexity, many general cardiologists avoid heavily calcified lesions and immediately refer patients for bypass surgery.
Dr. Kabra possesses the elite technical mastery required for this procedure. Having successfully executed over 300+ complex Rotablation treatments, he is widely recognized as the definitive authority in Jaipur for salvaging high-risk, heavily calcified coronary arteries.
"My father was told his blockages were too hard for stents and that he urgently needed an open-heart bypass. We were terrified because of his age. We took a second opinion from Dr. Kabra. He used the Rota-ablation drill and placed the stents perfectly. He quite literally saved my father from open-heart surgery."
— Deepak M., Jaipur"During my angiogram at another clinic, they couldn't get the balloon through the calcium block. I was referred to Dr. Kabra at Narayana Hospital. His expertise with the Rota-ablation technique cleared the artery completely. The recovery was incredibly fast."
