Awake chronic mouse model of targeted pial vessel occlusion via photothrombosis [PDF]
, 2020 Animal models of stroke are used extensively to study the mechanisms involved in the acute and chronic phases of recovery following stroke. A translatable animal model that closely mimics the mechanisms of a human stroke is essential in understanding ...

Cardiologia Croatica, 2020 Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is defined as the complete obstruction of coronary arteries in the duration of at least three months. In the last two decades interest in new techniques of percutaneous treatment of chronic total occlusion has increased and it has shown a greater rate of successful treatment compared to before.1 Thanks to the new materials

Microvascular dysfunction in the immediate aftermath of chronic total coronary occlusion recanalization [PDF]
, 2016 Objectives The aim of this study was to compare microvascular resistance under both baseline and hyperemic conditions immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) with an unobstructed reference vessel in ...

Temporal profile and mechanisms of the prompt sympathoexcitation following coronary ligation in Wistar rats [PDF]
, 2014 Our aim was to assess the timing and mechanisms of the sympathoexcitation that occurs immediately after coronary ligation. We recorded thoracic sympathetic (tSNA) and phrenic activities, heart rate (HR) and perfusion pressure in Wistar rats subjected to ...

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 2022 Background. The role of rotational atherectomy (RA) in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is expanding to include certain chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions. However, the long-term outcome of RA in CTOs is still unclear.

Medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention and prognosis in patients with chronic total occlusions [PDF]
, 2015 Objective There is little published data reporting outcomes for those found to have a chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) that is electively treated medically versus those treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Coronary Artery Chronic Total Occlusion
Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2016 Coronary artery chronic total occlusion (CTO) is defined as an occluded coronary artery segment without anterograde flow for at least three months. It can be classified as a “true” or “functional” CTO based on flow characteristics.
