Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusions
I mpasses are common in everyday life. When they occur in coronary arteries as chronic total occlusions (CTOs), they may be difficult to treat. Successful treatment of CTOs sometimes requires a nonconformist approach based on “negative thinking,” which is described in philosophical circles as the mindset that “negates” the possibility of failure and replaces it with the potentiality of success ...
متن کاملImpact of proctoring on success rates for percutaneous revascularisation of coronary chronic total occlusions
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of proctoring for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in six UK centres. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 587 CTO procedures from six UK centres and compared success rates of operators who had received proctorship with success rates of the same operators before proctorship (pre-proctored) and operators in the same institutio...
متن کاملRetraction Note: Meta-analysis of the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention on chronic total coronary occlusions
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) is the last stage of coronary artery atherosclerosis. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a therapeutic procedure used to recanalize vessels with total occlusion. However, successful recanalization of CTO is still not optimal, and the key influence factors are still uncertainty. Therefore, a scientific evaluation on the effec...
متن کاملTransradial approach for percutaneous coronary interventions on chronic total occlusions
The transfemoral approach is the standard approach for performing chronic total occlusion procedures. However, hemorrhagic and vascular entry site complications are known to be reduced by the adoption of the transradial approach. Thus, the transradial approach is gaining interest and, facilitated by the improvement of materials and techniques, will be applied in procedures previously considered...
متن کاملAnterograde techniques for percutaneous revascularization of chronic total coronary occlusions
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs) remains one of the major challenges in interventional cardiology. Successful recanalization of a CTO can reduce anginal symptoms, reduce the need for coronary artery bypass surgery and increase long-term survival [1–3]. Approximately 30–40% of patients with coronary artery disease are shown at angiography to have at le...
