Do you what OOKP is?

Is the part at the end really needed when they say "if you are considering this procedure, make sure to talk with a qualified doctor"? It doesn't seem very likely that some random individual has such equipment at home for someone to try doing that without contacting a doctor 😄

You never can tell these days

There was a case of Dr Rogozov who did a surgery on himself to remove his own appendix (during an expedition to Antarctica), but he was a qualified surgeon

I read about that a while ago. He was so brave and lucky too

Thank you

And don't forget to mention that this is an Israeli invention, please.

Rotational atherectomy debulks calcified coronary lesions before stenting, but the real work continues after: antiplatelet therapy, statins, and secondary prevention keep that vessel open long-term. The procedure buys time; medication protects it.

You nailed it with the antiplatelet therapy, very important

Technology is advancing so fast

Absolutely, can we keep up?

Definitely we can

I had this done works great

I think I'll want

Is there anything wrong with you?

No but

The diamond-tipped burr spinning at 180k rpm inside an artery is wild. Cardiology really said: tiny roadworks, but make it lifesaving.

Rotational Atherectomy (often called Rotablation) is a heart procedure that grinds away hard, calcified plaque blocking arteries—where standard balloons can’t work well 🩺

That’s a concise summary

Funny 😂

Rotational Atherectomy: How It Works & Why It Helps Rotational atherectomy (often called rotablation) is a specialized catheter-based procedure used to treat heavily calcified coronary artery blockages that standard balloons cannot open. How the procedure is performed: 1. Access is gained through the radial or femoral artery under local anesthesia. 2. A fine guidewire is carefully advanced across the calcified lesion. 3. A catheter tipped with a tiny olive-shaped burr coated in microscopic diamond particles is advanced over the wire to the blockage. 4. The burr spins at extremely high speeds (typically 140,000–180,000 rpm), gently grinding the hard calcium into microscopic particles smaller than red blood cells. 5. These particles are washed downstream and naturally cleared by the body’s reticuloendothelial system. 6. Once the calcium is sufficiently modified, conventional balloon angioplasty and stent placement can be performed with much better expansion and apposition. Key benefits: • Enables treatment of “undilatable” calcified lesions that would otherwise fail conventional angioplasty. • Improves stent expansion and reduces the risk of incomplete stent apposition or later restenosis. • Increases procedural success rates in complex, heavily calcified coronary disease. • Helps restore better blood flow and can reduce the need for more invasive bypass surgery in selected patients. The procedure is performed by experienced interventional cardiologists in a catheterization lab and is usually combined with stenting for lasting results. Post-procedure care focuses on dual antiplatelet therapy, statins, and secondary prevention to keep the vessel open long-term.

Good

Amazing 😍 😂

This is educational

Thank you Doc

🙄🤗

Wow his really insightful

Thanks Doc

Damn, the tech is crazy advanced. A tiny diamond-coated burr spinning at 140-180k rpm just grinding down hard calcium in the artery so the stent can expand properly. Basically a mini grinder inside your blood vessel. Thanks for breaking it down, makes way more sense now why a regular balloon sometimes just isn’t enough when the plaque is heavily calcified.

I’m happy to share sir

Appreciate you breaking it down so clearly. The fact that a tiny diamond-coated burr spinning at 140–180k rpm can safely grind calcium into particles smaller than red blood cells is still wild to me. Makes complete sense why standard balloons fail on heavily calcified lesions. Thanks for the education 🙏🏼

We are learning everyday

Impressive

Keep learning from everyone.

is this new technology considered as sufficient instead of open heart surgery??

The lie of the century: arteries cannot become blocked.

@grok why shouldn’t everyone do this for prevention ?

scary procedure, one rogue plaque goes to brain and your paralyze

Natural treatment to open arteries and cleanse the liver of toxins :

Very nice👍👍👍. Bravo❤❤❤

What amount of blood cells does it suck in along with the white stuff (fat, colesterol, whatever it is)?

Or drink about 8 oz of pomegranate juice per day for about … I think it was a year. It reverses arteriosclerosis by approximately 30% something. There were several researches done on this. Of course, non-approved by FDA or big pharma.

is this real :)
