Advanced cardiac centre at the PGIMER here relayed the live operation of a complex case of coronary angioplasty at the annual conference of the National Interventional Council of India held in Ahmedabad. The conference was attended by around 1,500 interventional cardiologists from India and abroad.

This challenging case was performed by a team of experts from the Department of Cardiology, PGI, under Prof Rajesh Vijayvergiya. He said the patient was 78 years old, who had undergone a successful angioplasty for chest pain and discomfort. The peculiarity of the case was that he had high-grade and severe deposition of calcium in the coronary arteries, which required an advanced treatment in the form of rotablation and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) along with intravascular imaging.
