Radiation Safety During Interventions of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 discussed and concrete applications are suggested.

Transradial approach for percutaneous coronary interventions on chronic total occlusions
The transfemoral approach is the standard approach for performing chronic total occlusion procedures. However, hemorrhagic and vascular entry site complications are known to be reduced by the adoption of the transradial approach. Thus, the transradial approach is gaining interest and, facilitated by the improvement of materials and techniques, will be applied in procedures previously considered...

Background and purpose: Âim of this research is to study the effect of bridging collateral vessels (BÇVS) on the success of coronary angioplasty in patients with chronic total occlusion (ÇTÔ). Ïn coronary angioplasty of ÇTÔ cases, categorizing of lessions characteristics can be helpful in evaluation of success in angioplasty. There are controversies about the role of BÇVS in the rate of angio...
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...
