[Intravascular ultrasound-guided percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion of left anterior descending artery:a case report].

Chronic total occlusions (CTO) remain a technical challenge in interventional cardiology despite remarkable advances in the strategies, expertise, and equipment. The success of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) depends in majority of cases whether or not a lesion is crossed by guidewire. This report illustrates successful use of intravascular ultrasound...

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Optimal Medical Therapy for Chronic Total Coronary Occlusion With Well‐Developed Collaterals

BACKGROUND The impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on chronic total occlusion in patients with well-developed collaterals is not clear. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 640 chronic total occlusion patients with collateral flow grade ≥2 were divided into 2 groups; chronic total occlusion patients either treated with PCI (the PCI group; n=305) or optimal medical therapy (the optima...

Randomized Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Zotarolimus-Eluting Stents vs. Sirolimus-Eluting Stents for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chronic Total Occlusion

hronic total occlusion (CTO) represents 10% of lesions treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).1 Treatment of the CTO lesion is challenging, with a limited primary success rate and a higher target vessel failure (TVF) rate, even with routine use of coronary stents.2–5 Recently, the introduction of novel technologies, new guidewires, and advancements in technical skills have improved...

Procedure planning for chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is now well established as a subspecialty within interventional cardiology. As the technique has evolved, it has become clear that robust procedure planning is key to achieving successful outcomes. This review aims to define the optimal environment for establishing a successful CTO program by defining the challenges in manag...

Rationale and design of EXPLORE: a randomized, prospective, multicenter trial investigating the impact of recanalization of a chronic total occlusion on left ventricular function in patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction

BACKGROUND In the setting of primary percutaneous coronary intervention, patients with a chronic total occlusion in a non-infarct related artery were recently identified as a high-risk subgroup. It is unclear whether ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients with a chronic total occlusion in a non-infarct related artery should undergo additional percutaneous coronary intervention of the chron...
