At Eternal Hospital, we understand the impact that various medical disorders might have on your well-being . That is why we are committed to delivering excellent treatment and assistance to patients who require shockwave angioplasty. Our highly specialised surgical team is dedicated to providing the best possible care to enhance your quality of life. With our advanced technology and state-of-the-art facilities, we provide a wide spectrum of surgical and non-surgical interventions suited to your specific needs. Our experienced and knowledgeable surgeons use world-class modalities to achieve the best possible outcomes for each patient.

Shockwave angioplasty, also known as IVL (Intravascular Lithotripsy), is a groundbreaking therapy that uses gentle sonic pressure waves to delicately dissolve calcified plaque within your arteries. This novel method provides the possibility for better angioplasty outcomes with fewer problems.

You may be wondering how this non-invasive method might improve your results. So, let's get started. Because sonic pressure waves gently dissolve hardened plaque, your medical team can navigate your arteries with more precision. IVL sets the foundation for a smoother and more effective angioplasty by meticulously prepping the afflicted area. This means you should expect better blood flow and a faster recovery.

More Information

Patients with severe coronary artery blockages brought on by calcified plaque are advised to undergo IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty. The following are common signs that indicate the necessity of this operation.

Chest pain (angina)
Shortness of breath
Exhaustion
Decreased capacity for exertion

If IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty is the best option for you, our skilled cardiologists will assess your situation and make that determination.

Improved Efficacy: IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty uses sonic pressure waves to effectively dissolve calcified plaque, which results in improved artery dilatation. This raises the procedure's success rate.
IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty is a minimally invasive, non-surgical approach that lowers the risks associated with conventional angioplasty techniques. It is a risk-free substitute for patients who might not make good candidates for additional interventions.
Shorter Hospital Stay and Quicker Recovery: Compared to conventional procedures, IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty typically entails a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery, allowing you to go back to your regular activities sooner.
Better Long-Term Results: By successfully repairing calcified plaques, IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty aids in re-establishing blood flow and maintaining the patency of the treated arteries, potentially minimising the need for additional treatments.

Treatment Options

On the day of the procedure:

The patient's condition is evaluated using blood tests and imaging studies.
A guide wire is advanced to the occluded coronary artery after being placed into the artery.
At the site of the obstruction, an intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) catheter or shockwave generator is inserted.
Shockwaves or sonic pressure waves are then created and sent through the catheter to the calcified plaque, disturbing and breaking it apart.
If necessary, X-ray imaging and intravascular ultrasonography are used to monitor the surgery.

Care in the hospital:

The patient is sent to a recovery area where he or she is closely monitored for any complications or signs of discomfort.
Blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation are all regularly checked.
The region is examined for symptoms of bleeding or hematoma formation.
Medications to prevent blood clots (antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy) are prescribed by a physician.

Care At home:

There are specific recommendations for physical exercise, lifting large objects, and wound care.
The patient is advised to live a healthy lifestyle that includes a well-balanced diet and regular exercise.

Follow-ups:

The patient is booked for cardiology follow-up visits to assess their progress. The number of follow-up visits may vary based on the patient's condition and the procedure's outcome.
Additional tests or imaging examinations may be conducted during these visits to assess the long-term success of the IVL/Shockwave angioplasty treatment.

FAQ'S

Q: When compared to conventional angioplasty, how effective is IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty?

A: In comparison to conventional techniques, the application of sonic pressure waves enables the effective destruction of calcified plaque, improving results and greater arterial dilatation.

Q: Are all patients with coronary artery disease suitable candidates for IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty?

A: Patients who have coronary arteries with calcified plaque benefit most from IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty. However, our skilled cardiologists will assess your situation carefully before deciding whether the surgery is appropriate for you.

Q: How long does the normal healing time following IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty last?

A: Depending on the person, the IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty recovery time may differ. Most of the time, patients recover relatively quickly from procedures and can get back to their regular routines within a few days to a week.

Q: Do IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty have any long-term advantages?

A: The goal of IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty is to increase the patency of the treated arteries and restore blood flow with effectiveness. This method for treating calcified plaque may improve long-term results and lessen the need for subsequent procedures.

Q: Can patients with multiple blockages undergo IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty?

A: Patients with multiple blockages can have IVL/Shockwave Angioplasty. The choice, however, will be based on the unique traits of each obstruction and your general health. Our cardiologists will evaluate your situation and suggest the best course of action.
