ROTAPRO System by Boston Scientific at the Heart Institute

The ROTAPRO system by Boston Scientific has been introduced at the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine — marking a new level in the treatment of complex calcified lesions.
Our doctors face the most challenging clinical cases every day. One of the greatest obstacles is severe calcification of the coronary arteries, which complicates or even makes stenting impossible.
This breakthrough became possible thanks to the support of our partners — Ukrhydroenergo, who believe in the development of Ukrainian medicine and help implement world-class technologies for the benefit of patients.

What does this innovative system provide for our doctors?

• Safe and precise calcium modification
• Reduced risk of complications during stenting
• Improved access in hard-to-reach segments
• Optimal vessel preparation for angioplasty
• Enhanced outcomes in complex interventions

This technology gives physicians confidence in the most difficult situations, especially in cases involving:

• Bifurcations
• Aorto-ostial lesions
• Highly tortuous vessels
• Restenosis

We also extend special gratitude for the donation of specialized equipment capable of transporting organs for transplantation — including hearts and blood components — as well as for the renovated hospital wards for both civilians and military patients, ensuring the best possible conditions during treatment at our institution.

As noted by Borys Todurov:

“This equipment is invaluable for us! It will allow organs to be delivered faster, safer, and independently of road conditions. This means we will be able to save more lives, especially in critical situations where every minute counts.”

And as emphasized by Bohdan Sukhetskyi, Acting General Director of Ukrhydroenergo:

“Even before the full-scale war, our employees underwent quality examinations and received necessary medical care at the Heart Institute. This program continues today. But now our support has expanded — we are also helping our defenders. For us, supporting the military is a matter of principle. We strive to help them not only at the front but also in the fight for life after injuries. Medicine, like energy, carries responsibility for human lives. And when we unite our efforts — life prevails.”

We sincerely thank Ukrhydroenergo for their assistance. For us, this is not just equipment — it is a set of tools that give hundreds of patients a chance for a healthy heart.

Together, we save lives!
