Left ventricular function after recanalization of chronic total occlusion
We read with great interest the article by Erdogan et al. that was recently published in Clinics (1). In this study, the authors evaluated the role of novel echocardiographic techniques in detecting left ventricular functional recovery after successful percutaneous coronary intervention to treat chronic total occlusion. Their study highlights the benefits of restoring blood flow in symptomatic ...
متن کاملEvaluation of left ventricular function three years after percutaneous recanalization of chronic total coronary occlusions.
We investigated early and late effects of percutaneous revascularization for chronic total coronary occlusion on left ventricular (LV) function and volumes. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 21 patients before and 5 months and 3 years after recanalization. Global LV function and volumes and segmental wall thickening (SWT) were quantified on cine images. The 2 viability indexes used we...
متن کاملComplications of Recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusion
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) of Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) is an accepted revascularization procedure. These complex procedures carry with them certain risks and potential complications. Complications of PCI such as contrast induced renal dysfunction, radiation, etc, assume more relevance given the length and complexity of these procedures. Further, certain complications such as...
متن کاملProgress in Predicting Chronic Total Occlusion Recanalization.
SEE PAGE 1 G iven its historically low procedural success rate, chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has long been considered the Achilles’ heel of percutaneous revascularization. Recent years, however, have witnessed significant progress in the field. Indeed, the adoption of novel strategies coupled with dedication and perseverance of pioneering operators has ...
متن کاملTransient impairment of vasomotion function after successful chronic total occlusion recanalization.
OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to assess coronary vasomotion after successful revascularization of chronic total occlusion (CTO). BACKGROUND It is largely unknown whether the recovery of anterograde flow after CTO recanalization with drug-eluting stent implantation affects vascular function in distal coronary segments. METHODS One hundred consecutive CTOs successfully treated with drug...
