Intracoronary physiology plays a pivotal role in assessing the functional significance of coronary lesions. FFR and iFR provide objective, lesion-specific data that guide revascularization decisions beyond angiographic appearance. This physiological guidance ensures stenting is reserved for lesions that truly warrant intervention, improving patient outcomes.
Why IVUS or OCT
Intracoronary imaging with IVUS or OCT enhances lesion assessment, stent sizing, and optimization beyond what angiography alone can offer. These modalities provide high-resolution, intraluminal detail crucial for precise PCI planning and improved long-term outcomes.
Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold:
BVS is a temporary, non-metallic scaffold designed to restore vessel patency and provide transient support following angioplasty. Unlike traditional stents, it gradually resorbs over time, potentially allowing the vessel to regain natural vasomotion and reducing long-term implant-related complications.
Rotablation
Rotational atherectomy is an adjunctive technique used in heavily calcified coronary lesions, facilitating optimal stent delivery and expansion. It employs a high-speed, diamond-tipped burr to selectively ablate calcified plaque, improving lesion compliance and procedural success.
Revolutionary Excimer Laser Treatment
ELCA offers a unique approach to complex coronary lesions, using ultraviolet laser energy to vaporize atheromatous and thrombotic material. Particularly useful in under-expanded stents, thrombotic lesions, and in-stent restenosis, it enhances procedural efficacy in challenging anatomies.
Orbital atherectomy
Orbital atherectomy is an advanced plaque-modifying technique designed for the treatment of severely calcified coronary lesions. By using a diamond-coated crown that orbits eccentrically, it facilitates controlled ablation and vessel compliance, enabling optimal stent deployment.
TAVI
TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are high-risk for surgical valve replacement. It enables valve deployment via a catheter-based approach, offering significant hemodynamic improvement with reduced perioperative morbidity.
TMVR:
TMVR is an evolving, catheter-based therapy for patients with severe mitral valve disease who are unsuitable for conventional surgery. It enables valve replacement via a transseptal or transapical approach, offering a less invasive alternative with promising clinical outcomes.
MitraClip
MitraClip is a percutaneous device designed to reduce mitral regurgitation by approximating the mitral leaflets. It offers a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with symptomatic mitral valve insufficiency who are at high surgical risk.

What I personally admire is not just his brilliance, but his humility. Here’s a man who consults patients from morning to night, often with barely a break — and yet, he’s always smiling, always composed, always present. No airs, no rush, no distractions. Just 100% focus on the person in front of him.
Dr. Sengottuvelu isn’t just an exceptional cardiologist — he’s an exceptional human being.

“I had severe breathing difficulty requiring repeated hospital admissions for severe aortic stenosis and COPD and many surgeons refused open heart surgery. I had completely lost hope. All that changed with Dr Sengottuvelu’s expertise and the TAVR procedure on 11th Feb, 2016. I felt fresh and young,happy and feel strong. Thank you for everything.”
