Providing advanced cardiology care with modern diagnostic technology and expert treatment. Our mission is to deliver compassionate heart care, focusing on prevention, accurate diagnosis, and minimally invasive cardiac therapies for better long-term health.
In a groundbreaking leap forward for precision interventional cardiology, Dr. X. Rufus Demel has officially announced the launch of South Tamil Nadu’s first-ever MAKOTO™ Dual Imaging Pro NIRS-IVUS system at Devaki Speciality Hospital, Madurai. Traditional coronary angiography provides only a two-dimensional silhouette of the blood vessel lumen, frequently missing hidden lipid deposits and vulnerable plaques prone to rupture. The introduction of this state-of-the-art dual-modality intravascular imaging platform ushers in Devaki 2.0—a transformative era of world-class cardiac care that enables clinicians to see inside the coronary artery wall with unprecedented clarity.
The MAKOTO™ system is the only technology that seamlessly integrates Ultra-High-Definition Intravascular Ultrasound (HD-IVUS) with Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) on a single catheter pullback. While HD-IVUS maps vessel architecture, plaque burden, and precise stent landing zones, NIRS utilizes infrared light absorption to produce a definitive molecular "chemogram." This chemogram pinpoints dangerous Lipid-Rich Core Plaques (LRP), identifying vulnerable plaques prone to sudden heart attacks or peri-procedural complications. Coupled with non-invasive coronary physiology (Virtual FFR) and facilitating zero- or minimal-contrast angioplasty, this milestone brings safer, personalized, and life-saving interventions to cardiac patients across South Tamil Nadu.
