Prashanth Hospitals, Velachery has introduced Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy (ELCA), becoming the first hospital in South Chennai and the second in Chennai to offer this advanced laser angioplasty technology.
ELCA is designed to treat complex coronary blockages, including chronic total occlusions, clot-heavy heart attacks, and under-expanded stents with greater precision. Performed through a minimally invasive approach via the wrist or groin, the procedure helps eligible patients recover faster, with many able to walk within 24 hours.
With the addition of ELCA alongside Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) and Rotational Atherectomy, Prashanth Hospitals now offers a comprehensive range of advanced interventional cardiology treatments for complex heart conditions.
