These scars are caused by abnormal wound healing, which may occur after skin injuries caused by surgery, trauma, burns, etc. and may have a large impact on the patients’ quality of life. Hypertrophic scars and colloids in addition to aesthetic problems can...
متن کاملValidation of the J-chronic total occlusion score for chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention in an independent contemporary cohort.
BACKGROUND Chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization is a complex and technically challenging procedure. The J-CTO score has been proposed to stratify case complexity and procedural success rates. However, the score has never been tested outside the setting of the original study. Moreover, its predictive value when using a hybrid antegrade or retrograde approach is unknown. We investigated t...
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 ...
