Advances in procedural techniques--antegrade. [PDF]
, 2014 There have been many technological advances in antegrade CTO PCI, but perhaps most importantly has been the evolution of the "hybrid' approach where ideally there exists a seamless interplay of antegrade wiring, antegrade dissection re-entry and ...

The Impact of Calcium on Chronic Total Occlusion Management
Interventional Cardiology: Reviews, Research, Resources, 2021 Coronary artery calcification is prevalent in chronic total occlusions (CTO), particularly in those of longer duration and post-coronary artery bypass. The presence of calcium predicts lower procedural success rates and a higher risk of complications of ...

Impact of proctoring on success rates for percutaneous revascularisation of coronary chronic total occlusions. [PDF]
, 2015 OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of proctoring for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in six UK centres. METHODS: We retrospectively analysed 587 CTO procedures from six UK centres and compared success rates of ...

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

COMPLICATIONS OF RECANALIZATION OF CHRONIC TOTAL OCCLUSION [PDF]
Current Cardiology Reviews, 2015 Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) of Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) is an accepted revascularization procedure. These complex procedures carry with them certain risks and potential complications. Complications of PCI such as contrast induced renal dysfunction, radiation, etc, assume more relevance given the length and complexity of these ...

Drug-eluting balloon angioplasty for bifurcated chronic total coronary occlusion
REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.), 2023 To the Editor, This is the case of a 67-year-old woman admitted due to a 6-month history of exertional angina. Stress echocardiography showed severe anterior wall ischemia. The patient was referred for coronary angiography that revealed the presence of a

Biomarkers of coronary endothelial health: correlation with invasive measures of collateral function, flow and resistance in chronically occluded coronary arteries and the effect of recanalization [PDF]
, 2016 Objectives: In the presence of a chronically occluded coronary artery, the collateral circulation matures by a process of arteriogenesis; however, there is considerable variation between individuals in the functional capacity of that collateral network ...

Vascular complications after liver transplantation: A 5-year experience [PDF]
, 1986 During the past 5 years, 104 angiographic studies were performed in 87 patients (45 children and 42 adults) with 92 transplanted livers for evaluation of possible vascular complications. Seventy percent of the studies were abnormal.
