What is radiul drilling atherectomy?

Radial drilling atherectomy is a minimally invasive cardiovascular procedure used to treat atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in the arteries. This technique involves using a specialized device to remove or break down plaque from the arterial wall, typically through a catheter inserted via the radial artery in the wrist. By targeting and excising the plaque, this method aims to restore blood flow and reduce the risk of heart-related complications. It is often performed in conjunction with other interventions, such as angioplasty or stenting.
