Chronic Total Occlusions: New Pathways to Success
Yet the barriers to treatment for this group remain formidable and include sometimes long procedure duration and cost [2], perception of higher complication rates [3], and lack of clinical evidence to support CTO PCI, include procedures, that on average, take longer, cost more and have higher complication rates. There is also a perception that there is a relative lack of clinical evidence to su...
متن کاملNew Advances in Chronic Total Occlusions.
Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) still represent the greatest technical challenge that interventional cardiologists face. CTOs remain seriously undertreated with percutaneous techniques, far below their prevalence. One reason for the low uptake was the suboptimal CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) success rates over a long period of time. During the last years, dedicated group...
متن کاملAntegrade Techniques for Chronic Total Occlusions
By convention, a total obstruction of the coronary artery with no flow at the occluded segment that has been present for at least 3 months is termed as chronic total occlusion or CTO. This is to be distinguished from a sudden occlusion of the coronary artery lumen by a thrombus during an acute myocardial infarction. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of CTO is increasingly being performed...
متن کاملPercutaneous 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 کاملManagement strategies in patients affected by chronic total occlusions: results from the Italian Registry of Chronic Total Occlusions.
BACKGROUND Through contemporary literature, the optimal strategy to manage coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) remains under debate. OBJECTIVES The aim of the Italian Registry of Chronic Total Occlusions (IRCTO) was to provide data on prevalence, characteristics, and outcome of CTO patients according to the management strategy. METHODS The IRCTO is a prospective real world multicentre ...
