The “needle re-entry” technique for infrainguinal arterial calcified occlusive lesions
Background Vascular calcification is a predictor of poor clinical outcome during and after endovascular intervention. Guidewire crossing techniques and devices have been developed, but chronic total occlusions (CTOs) with severe calcification often ...

The “Direct tip injection in occlusive lesions (DIOL)” fashion
Background The successful intervention for peripheral artery disease is limited by complex chronic total occlusions (CTOs). During CTO wiring, without the use of intravascular or extravascular ultrasound, the guidewire position is unclear, except for ...
