چکیده

A 51-year-old female two years after CABG presented with unstable angina and inferior wall ischaemia. Coronary angiography revealed occluded graft to RCA and chronic total occlusion of RCA with good collateral flow from distal LAD to RCA. The CTO was successfully crossed and dilated through epicardial collaterals from distal LAD (retrograde approach). Finally, antegrade angioplasty with two stents implantation was performed achieving TIMI 3 flow.

Comparison the effects of recanalisation of chronic total occlusion of the right and left coronary arteries on the autonomic nervous system function.

BACKGROUND Recanalisation of the chronic total occlusion (CTO) of coronary artery is not a routine procedure. The benefits of CTO recanalisation have not yet been definitively established. This may be due to inappropriate identification of patients who benefit the most from the CTO recanalisation. AIM To assess the autonomic nervous system (ANS) parameters and left ventricular ejection fracti...

Recanalisation of coronary chronic total occlusion by retrograde approach: the first experience in Poland.

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of revascularisation procedures of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) has been improved by the introduction of retrograde approach. AIM This study compared the outcomes of CTO revascularisation in a single centre in Krakow, Poland using antegrade and retrograde approach. METHODS From January 2011 to September 2013, 150 patients underwent 159 procedures for p...

Percutaneous recanalisation of chronically occluded coronary arteries with the CrossBoss/Stingray system: first experience (report of three cases).

BACKGROUND AND AIM Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) within chronically occluded coronary arteries remain challenging procedures with a lower success rate compared to classic PCI. However, over the last years we have witnessed many technological advances in the treatment of chronic total occlusion (CTO) including new wires, retrograde approach, subintimal tracking and re-entry technique...

Images in cardiovascular medicine. Interventricular septal hematoma and ventricular septal defect after retrograde intervention for a chronic total occlusion of a left anterior descending coronary artery.

A 73-year-old man with unstable angina was found to have a severely calcified chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the mid left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Diagnostic coronary angiography confirmed the CTO to be complex, with a “flush” occlusion occurring in a segment associated with proximal septal and diagonal branches. Retrograde filling of the distal LAD occurred via 2 large sept...

Interventricular Septal Hematoma and Coronary-Ventricular Fistula: A Complication of Retrograde Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention

Interventricular septal hematoma is a rare complication of retrograde chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with a typically benign course. Here we report two cases of interventricular septal hematoma and coronary-cameral fistula development after right coronary artery (RCA) CTO-PCI using a retrograde approach. Both were complicated by development of ST-segment...
