Overview
Complex Angioplasty is a specialized procedure used to treat challenging or multiple blockages in the coronary arteries. It involves inserting a catheter with a balloon to open narrowed or blocked arteries. Unlike standard angioplasty, complex angioplasty is used in cases where there are multiple lesions, heavily calcified arteries, or previously failed stents. The procedure may also involve advanced techniques, such as using drug-eluting stents, rotational atherectomy to break up plaque, or intravascular ultrasound for better precision. It requires a skilled cardiologist to handle the complexities and risks associated with difficult coronary artery disease.

Types of Diseases treated by Complex NGO Plasty
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
- Atherosclerosis (plaque buildup)
- Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) (complete artery blockage)
- In-stent Restenosis (re-narrowing of arteries after stent placement)
- Calcified Lesions (hard deposits in arteries)
- Multivessel Disease (blockages in multiple arteries)
- Left Main Coronary Artery Disease (blockages in the main heart artery)
