At Vinmec Can Tho Hospital, Atherectomy is performed using specialised catheter-based techniques and comprehensive pre-procedure vascular assessment. Established in 2016, this JCI accredited hospital in Can Tho, Vietnam has 155 beds and offers advanced interventional cardiology and vascular services.

Atherectomy may be considered for patients with significant arterial narrowing, particularly when plaque is heavily calcified or difficult to treat effectively with balloon angioplasty alone. During the procedure, a catheter-mounted atherectomy device is advanced to the affected artery under imaging guidance and used to remove or modify the obstructing plaque. Angiography and other vascular investigations help determine the extent and characteristics of the arterial disease before treatment.
