Retrograde Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention
Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) is a frequent finding in patients with coronary artery disease. It remains one of the most challenging subsets, accounting for 10-20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Although remarkable progress in PCI has been made, it is reasonable to state that successful recanalization of CTO represents the "last frontier" of PCI. PCI of CTOs has been...
متن کاملPercutaneous Recanalisation of Coronary Artery Chronic Total Occlusions: a 2014 Update
Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are frequently encountered in clinical practice, and their presence influences management decisions; patients with CTOs are more frequently allocated to bypass graft surgery or medical therapy than patients without CTOs. Recent advances in interventional guidewires, catheters, and novel techniques have led to significant improvements in success rates wit...
متن کاملWhen intravascular ultrasound becomes indispensable in percutaneous coronary intervention of a chronic total occlusion.
Percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusion is a particular interventional area which requires high level of operator's experience and the support of additional tools based on intracoronary image such as intravascular ultrasound in many cases to clarify difficulties during procedures and to increase success rate. Implantation of long stents in many cases, the presence of stump...
متن کاملRadiation Safety During Interventions of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion
During percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO), prolonged procedures increase the risk of excessive radiation exposure. These situations harbor a major concern to protect patients and personnel in the cardiac interventional laboratory (CCL). Important questions regarding radiation safety for interventional cardiologists performing PCI for CTO lesions are disc...
متن کاملChronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention in 2014 beyond the J-CTO score (Japanese Multicenter CTO Registry): chance favors the prepared mind.
SEE PAGE 257 P ercutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) represents the most technically challenging procedure in contemporary interventional cardiology (1,2). Although large, definitive randomized trials are lacking, a growing body of evidence suggests that successful percutaneous CTO revascularization relieves symptoms, improves left ventricular systolic function, r...
