IVUS-assisted parallel wiring for coronary chronic total occlusion
Advances in Interventional Cardiology, 2022 In percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO), various techniques such as parallel wiring or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided wiring have been developed.

New Advances in Chronic Total Occlusions [PDF]
Interventional Cardiology Review, 2014 Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) still represent the greatest technical challenge that interventional cardiologists face. CTOs remain seriously undertreated with percutaneous techniques, far below their prevalence. One reason for the low uptake was the suboptimal CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) success rates over a long period of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.
