Frequency and Causes of Mortality in Chronic Total Occlusion

Frequency and Causes of Mortality in Chronic Total Occlusion

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed to treat chronic total occlusion (CTO). This increase is due to the availability of more advanced technology and greater experience of both operators and specialized centers. However, it is important to note that this technique is not free

CTO: Length’s Impact on Success

The rise of chronic total occlusions (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) goes hand in hand with technological development, through still posing a great challenge, one not exactly exempt from complications.  An important criterion to successful CTO PCI is length: ≥20 mm lesions lower the odds, according to J-CTO Score. However, increasing operator experience and the

Primary vs Secondary Retrograde Approach in CTO: Differences

Successful chronic total occlusion procedures are on the rise, especially in high volume centers, seeing as they count on more sophisticated materials and different techniques, such the retrograde approach. However, the significant increase of success rate with this technique has also brought along an increase in associated complications.  The aim of this study was to

Changes in Coronary Collateral Function Post CTO Intervention

In the last few years, we have seen significant growth of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous intervention, which has also been considered for patients with viable territory that remain symptomatic. Experienced centers present successful CTO intervention rates close to 90%, especially with a hybrid approach. However, it is still a complex procedure, and target vessel

Bilateral Distal Transradial Access for Chronic Total Occlusion Recanalization and Multivessel Coronary Disease Percutaneous Intervention

[APT Medical Sponsored Clinical Case] Bilateral Distal Transradial Access for Chronic Total Occlusion Recanalization and Multivessel Coronary Disease Percutaneous Intervention

Introduction Chronic total occlusion (CTO) represents the most challenging setting for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and multivessel coronary disease (MCD) is often treated in a staggered manner and in a deferred procedure. Although transfemoral is one of the common access site, the transradial access (TRA) has been used with similar procedural success [1]. The distal

Suboptimal Recanalization Results Worse than Procedural Failure

This large cohort of patients undergoing PCI for chronic total occlusion has shown suboptimal recanalization is associated with cardiac death and myocardial infarction at long term compared against procedural failure.  The link between acute outcomes and long-term events in recanalizations has been overlooked. Mainly when it comes to suboptimal results, is doing something more trouble

Subintimal Re-Entry in CTO Improves Outcomes

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are still one of the greatest challenges in our field, thus forcing the development of different complex strategies to resolve them. Additionally, the use of imaging techniques during these procedures has improved long-term results.

Subintimal vs. Intraplaque Coronary Rechanneling. Do Results Vary?

Coronary rechanneling is difficult by nature, and there are several techniques for it aimed at improving technical success. Some of these strategies entail the subintimal crossing of the occluded segment, while others entail intraplaque crossing, without leaving the true lumen. However, there is scarce or no information on the results of both strategies. Researchers analyzed

TCT 2019 | EURO-CTO: Results at 3 Years of CTO Recanalization vs. Optimal Medical Treatment

Courtesy of SBHCI. Between 16 and 18% of coronary artery lesions in patients with chronic stable CAD are chronic total occlusions (CTO). CTO revascularization could benefit symptomatic patients, but it remains unclear whether such complex procedure is safe in the long run, given the study outcomes on PCI in CAD so far.  This study presented
