Rotational atherectomy in the subadventitial space to allow safe and successful chronic total occlusion recanalization: Pushing the limit further
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions"
DOI: 10.1002/ccd.27035
Abstract: Dissection and re‐entry (DR) techniques have played a key role in the increase of success rates of chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization. DR usually allows wiring complex occlusions, even in case of important calcification. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.27324
Abstract: Extreme angulation of coronary artery takeoff represents a challenge for wiring and device advancement in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This anatomic feature is particularly adverse in cases of chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the ostial‐proximal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.27379
Abstract: As antegrade options are limited, intervention upon the ostial right coronary artery (RCA) chronic total occlusion (CTO) warrants a retrograde approach. Landmarks for an aggressive approach are concerning as passage of stiff guidewires or electrocautery… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.28399
Abstract: Coronary perforation remains a dreaded complication of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We present a case of successful CTO recanalization complicated by a perforation treated by n‐butyl‐cyanoacrylate (medical “super‐glue”). We also present… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.28614
Abstract: When crossing into the distal true lumen fails during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), subintimal plaque modification (SPM) is often performed to restore antegrade flow and facilitate subsequent lesion recanalization. read more here.
