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 ...

more technically challenging than twodimensional echocardiography and this is of particular importance in the CRT patient. Image acquisition requires a significant breath hold which is often difficult for the heart failure patient. Several regular cardiac beats are required and this is not always possible due to the presence of ectopy or atrial fibrillation. The large ventricular volumes seen i...
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...
متن کاملPercutaneous Recanalization of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions: Current Devices and Specialized Wire Crossing Techniques
Treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) remains a challenging obstacle, posing a considerable barrier to achieving successful complete revascularization. By nature of their complexity, percutaneous CTO interventions are associated with lower rates of procedural success, higher complication rates, greater radiation exposure and longer procedure times compared with non-CTO intervent...
