Excimer laser coronary atherectomy in septal collaterals during retrograde recanalization of a chronic total occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Management of chronic total occlusions has been refined through the development of a retrograde approach via collateral pathways. We describe here the use of excimer laser coronary atherectomy in the septal collaterals. This appraoch was not yet described in the literature.

PURPOSE Recanalization of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the femoropopliteal arteries depends on a successful lesion crossing with the guide wire. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and the primary results of retrograde recanalization of CTOs with balloon-assisted excimer-laser atherectomy (ELA) via a transpopliteal approach after failed antegrade a...

BACKGROUND Retrograde approach through collaterals has been introduced for percutaneous recanalization of chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the coronary arteries. We investigated the safety and efficacy of retrograde approaches used for percutaneous recanalization of CTO in a consecutive series of patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 157 consecutive patients who underwent retrograde CTO re...
متن کاملUsefulness 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 کاملRescue percutaneous coronary recanalization of right coronary artery by retrograde approach
We describe the case of a 62-year-old female patient in whom there was an occlusion of collaterals and acute inferior wall ischemia during the opening procedure of right coronary artery (RCA) chronic total occlusion. Rescue percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of RCA by the retrograde approach was performed preventing heart muscle damage. In this article we discuss the issue of PCI by the r...

The patient was scheduled for a coronary angiogram that showed a patent left coronary artery and a complete occlusion of ostial right coronary artery (RCA). The RCA is opacified through collaterals from left coronary...
