Usefulness of excimer laser atherectomy for balloon uncrossable lesion in chronic total occlusion
Excimer lasers are pulsed gas lasers that use a mixture of a rare gas and halogen as the active medium to generate pulses of short-wavelength, high-energy ultraviolet light. [1] Irradiction to atherosclerotic coronary artery segments allows the culprit lesions to transpirate without heat damaging the normal tissues. We described an effective case of excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) for...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of Tornus catheter in percutaneous coronary intervention of hard or balloon-uncrossable chronic total occlusion
BACKGROUND Balloon advancement and dilation through chronic total occlusion segment could be challenging in some cases after successful wire crossing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of Tornus catheter (Asahi Intecc; Aichi, Japan) in percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusion in hard or balloon-uncrossable chronic total occlusion. METHODS The p...
متن کاملEditorial Chronic Coronary Total Occlusion
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is quite frequent finding in coronary artery disease. Comprised of a combination of fibrocalcific and thrombotic elements, CTO has been reported in approximately onethird of patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. This thematic issue goes in depth into “coronary CTO ” that still represents the last frontier in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ...
متن کاملTechnical and procedural advances in percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion
2015 Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are the most challenging lesions to treat using coronary angioplasty. The benefits of CTO coronary intervention (PCI) are symptom relief, and improved left ventricular function and long-term prognosis of the patient. In recent years, interventional cardiologists in Japan have made a great contribution to the progress of CTO PCI. Innovative techniques, includi...
متن کاملBest management options for chronic iliac vein stenosis and occlusion.
BACKGROUND Iliac vein stenting technology is rapidly emerging as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open venovenous bypass procedures for iliac vein stenoses and chronic total occlusions. METHODS Peer-reviewed publications meeting eligibility criteria were retrieved and reviewed from public domain databases. RESULTS Reviewed reports encompass ∼1500 patients. Evidence quality wa...
