Is It Possible To Repeat Root Canal Treatment After 16 Years?

Earlier I have been treated with RCT. Suddenly after my OPG was done dental dr. advised to to extract that RCT tooth, as RCT was not done properly.
The First RCT was done when my age was 15-16yrs, Now I am 32.
Can it be possible to re do the RE-RCT treatment in that same tooth?
If so please advise the dr. names" I am staying in Kolkata(India)
