Retrograde approach to successfully treat antegrade failure due to subintimal hematoma of a right coronary artery chronic total occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
2015 Use of antegrade dissection re-entry techniques for crossing coronary chronic total occlusions may occasionally fail due to subintimal hematoma formation. We describe use of the retrograde approach to successfully complete a right coronary artery chronic total occlusion intervention, in which re-entry was not possible after subintimal guidewire crossing due to extensive subintimal hematoma formation that compressed the distal true lumen.

Reverse Controlled Antegrade and Retrograde Subintimal Tracking in Chronic Total Occlusion of Right Coronary Artery
Passage failure of guidewire is still remained most common reason for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) failure in chronic total occlusion (CTO). Intravascular ultrasound study (IVUS) and cardiac CT angiography can help identify features that most influence current success rates of PCI. We report our experience using the reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde subintimal tracking tec...

A 73-year-old man with unstable angina was found to have a severely calcified chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the mid left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Diagnostic coronary angiography confirmed the CTO to be complex, with a “flush” occlusion occurring in a segment associated with proximal septal and diagonal branches. Retrograde filling of the distal LAD occurred via 2 large sept...
متن کاملChronic total occlusion in ostium of right coronary artery – retrograde approach as the first-choice method of revascularization?
Recanalization of chronic total occlusion (CTO) located in the ostium may require the operator's ability to use the retrograde approach. We present a case of opening a chronically occluded right coronary artery (RCA) by the retrograde approach after an unsuccessful attempt of recanalization by classic antegrade technique.

We report the case of a 78-year-old woman with saphenous vein graft (SVG) disease and chronic total occlusion (CTO) in three native coronary arteries [left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery, and the right coronary artery], who was successfully treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the retrograde approach via the critically degenerated SVGs. The patient...
