"Role of CT Coronary Angiography in Recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusion"
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is considered as the most challenging frontier in interventional cardiology and the last one to be conquered. With availability of state of art hardware, wires and catheters in particular and increased skills of the operators, the success rate for recanalization of CTO by percutaneous catheter intervention (PCI) has improved. Yet the complications rate and long-ter...
متن کاملCurrent percutaneous recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusion.
Although successful recanalization rates of coronary chronic total occlusions have remained suboptimal in percutaneous coronary interventions, evolving techniques, including the retrograde approach, have raised hopes for better outcomes. With the advent of antiplatelet therapy and drug-eluting stents, along with conventional antegrade approaches, further progress can be expected in the "last fr...
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 کاملComputed tomography angiography-guided recanalization of saphenous vein graft chronic total occlusion
Computed tomography (CT) angiography can augment conventional coronary angiography relative to length of vessel occlusion and quality of distal run-off. In this case report we describe the significance of CT angiography in the revascularization decision-making process of a patient following occlusion of both coronary artery bypass grafts.
