Percutaneous laser revascularization in patients with chronic total occlusions.
As clinical investigators of the percutaneous myocardial revascularization (PMR) device, we read with interest “A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Trial of Percutaneous Transmyocardial Laser Revascularization in Patients With Nonrecanalizable Chronic Total Occlusions” (PMR-CTO trial) by Stone and colleagues (1). Based upon the lack of available follow-up data and objective evidence, we do n...
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 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 ...
متن کاملEffect of plaque debulking and stenting on short- and long-term outcomes after revascularization of chronic total occlusions.
OBJECTIVES We evaluated the effect of plaque burden modification (debulking) on the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of patients with a totally occluded native coronary artery undergoing successful stent deployment. BACKGROUND Although the primary success rate of crossing a chronic totally occluded coronary artery has improved with the development of new interventional devices and guide...
متن کاملPercutaneous revascularization of chronic total coronary occlusions: are the benefits underappreciated?
Chronically totally occluded coronary arteries (CTOs) are common and represent the most technically challenging subset of lesions in contemporary interventional cardiology (1). The presence of a CTO on coronary angiography has a powerful impact on treatment decisions, leading to more frequent referral to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and medical therapy when compared with when only ste...
