Chronic Total Occlusion PCI | Patient Testimonial | Medicover Hospitals

CTO means Chronic Total Occlusion of Heart Blood Vessels. If the occlusion crosses more than three months, it becomes harder and making it very difficult for an operator to open it.

Key points to successful CTO PCI:
- Doctor’s Expertise
- Efficient Interventional Team
- CTO Hardware availability

CTO PCI is a technique for the treatment of CTO blockages by experienced cardiac interventionalists with extensive training in advanced methods. Depending on the severity of the blockages, the procedures range in length from two to five hours. In order to be tracked, all patients are admitted to the hospital overnight after the operation. One of the few centers in India to use a mix of antegrade (forward-moving like dissection/re-entry) and retrograde (backward-moving) methods for accessing the blockage is Medicover Hospitals. When a blockage occurs, to assist with blood flow, new blood vessels known as collateral blood vessels are formed around the blockage. The doctor inserts a catheter into these collateral arteries using advanced guide wires, accessing the blocked artery from various sides. A small uninflated balloon is inserted at the tip of the catheter using a procedure called balloon angioplasty and inflated while in the artery. Along with stents, this technique is used to establish a larger opening in the arteries to restore blood flow.

Mr. Rajashekar Reddy has undergone treatment for CTO PCI at Medicover Hospitals. His Right Coronary Artery got blocked, and collaterals formed in the left artery. In 2006, he had two stents in the left descending artery, and the doctors tried to open the right one also, but they were not successful at that time. Afterward, he came to Medicover Hospitals. His blood vessel has occluded for 15 years, So the Doctors anticipated the most complex intervention in him.

He was overwhelmed with the type of treatment and services that Medicover Hospitals provided. He thanked Dr. Sharath Reddy and his team members for the exceptional care and treatment.
