Atherectomy can help treat complex arterial blockages by reducing plaque burden and improving vessel access for subsequent interventions. Treatment planning considers the location and severity of the blockage, plaque composition, vessel diameter, degree of calcification, symptoms, and the patient's overall cardiovascular condition. A detailed vascular assessment helps the specialist determine the most appropriate atherectomy technology and whether additional treatment such as balloon angioplasty or stenting is required.

Atherectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove or modify atherosclerotic plaque that has narrowed or blocked an artery. During the procedure, a specialized catheter is guided through the blood vessel to the affected area, where a device is used to shave, cut, sand, or otherwise modify the plaque. Atherectomy may be performed in peripheral arteries and, in selected cases, coronary arteries, depending on the location and characteristics of the blockage.
Gurgaon, India
Choosing Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram for Atherectomy gives patients access to experienced interventional specialists, advanced angiography and imaging systems, specialized catheterization facilities, and structured post-procedure monitoring. Established in 2022, the NABH, NABL accredited hospital in Gurgaon, India has 250 beds and provides specialized vascular intervention services.
Atherectomy is generally performed under local anaesthesia with sedation when appropriate. A catheter is introduced through a blood vessel and guided to the site of arterial obstruction, where the selected atherectomy device removes or modifies the plaque. The treated artery may then undergo balloon angioplasty or stent placement depending on the clinical situation. Patients are monitored after treatment for bleeding, changes in circulation, vessel injury, or other potential complications.

Atherectomy is a minimally invasive medical procedure that removes plaque buildup from narrowed arteries to create a better pathway for blood flow. During the procedure, a catheter with a cutting or ablating device is inserted into the affected artery. The atherectomy procedure helps restore blood flow and improve the artery's diameter. There are 4 main types of atherectomy excisional atherectomy (a blade is used to cut the plaque in one direction), laser ablation atherectomy (use of a laser beam to destroy plaque), orbital atherectomy, and rotational atherectomy (circular motion blades are used to cut through the plaque).
Atherectomy is primarily used to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD) in the lower extremities. It is especially beneficial when traditional treatments like angioplasty and stenting are not suitable due to severe calcification or complex plaque formation.
The recovery period after an atherectomy is usually short. The site of insertion may feel a little bruised. The patient may feel some discomfort for a few hours post procedure. The patient is usually discharged in a day or two. They are advised to rest and avoid strenuous activities for a few days. The healthcare team monitors the patient's progress and provides appropriate post-procedure care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
