Rotational Atherectomy Cost at Burjeel Hospital, Dubai

An atherectomy is a procedure to remove plaque from an artery (blood vessel). Removing plaque makes the artery wider, so blood can flow more freely to the heart muscles. In an atherectomy, the plaque is shaved or vaporized away with tiny rotating blades or a laser on the end of a catheter.

In rotational atherectomy, the surgeon uses a revolving instrument to break up calcified plaque that is clogging a coronary artery. Breaking up the plaque restores blood flow to the heart.
