Intra-Vascular UltraSound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).
To achieve optimal stenting results, advanced interventional techniques such as Rotablation and Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy are also used to treat heavily calcified heart artery blockages.
These procedures can be done in Mount Elizabeth Orchard Hospital, Gleneagles Hospital or Parkway East Hospital.
