Most complex PCI procedures are performed via the wrist (radial approach). Many patients go home the same or next day — recovery is dramatically faster than open bypass surgery.
When an artery has been completely blocked for months or years, standard stenting often fails. We use advanced wires, microcatheters and hybrid CTO algorithms (antegrade and retrograde approaches) to reopen these vessels in the majority of cases — without open surgery.
The latest calcium-cracking technology. Sonic pressure waves gently fracture hardened calcium inside the artery wall so stents can expand fully. Safe, effective, and increasingly used across Australia for heavily calcified arteries.
A tiny diamond-coated burr spins at high speed to drill through tough calcified plaque, preparing the artery for balloon angioplasty and stenting.
We don't guess — we see inside the artery in real time. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) ensure perfect stent sizing, full expansion and good apposition, reducing the risk of future problems.
