An important milestone has been reached in Pakistan’s healthcare system with the introduction of the new Rotapro system at the Peshawar Institute of Cardiology (PIC-MTI).

It is a single-operator smart device designed to get rid of calcification from coronary arteries, according to PIC spokesperson Riffat Anjum. Using the Rotapro system, a team of skilled PIC cardiologists successfully completed the treatment procedure on a 60-year-old patient during a recent operation.

The head of the cardiology department, Dr. Abidullah, praised the innovation for its high efficacy and low risk of side effects.

Rotational atherectomy, according to Dr. Abidullah, is a revolutionary technique for treating calcified coronary lesions. Rotapro technology is also a crucial tool for complex PCI procedures that enable plaque reduction and vascular preparation for stenting.

Rotational atherectomy allows for percutaneous coronary intervention on complicated, calcified coronary lesions. In accordance with the “differential cutting” theory, RA preferentially removes calcified, hard, and inelastic plaque.

This treatment is primarily used to treat heart artery hardening, which can result in discomfort in the chest and potentially fatal heart attacks. It is important to note that PIC-MTI and Boston Scientific Company collaborated to achieve this remarkable feat.

The air flow to the advancer is controlled by the Rotapro System console, which also controls burr rotation speed.  Additionally, it tracks and shows the duration of rotational atherectomy procedures as well as burr rotation speed. Both nitrogen and compressed air have the potential to power the console.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, Peshawar Institute of Cardiology – MTI is a cutting-edge Heart & Vascular hospital that offers the most cutting-edge and thorough care for cardiac, vascular, and pulmonary issues.

Every patient receives integrated and individualised care from a full-time team of skilled cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anaesthetists, occupational therapists, cath lab technicians, nurses, and pharmacists. In addition to providing patients with a wide range of clinical services, the departments also provide diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitation facilities.
