Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs), despite their inherent inferiority to arterial conduits, still remain the type of grafts most commonly used during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).1 The natural and post-interventional biological behaviour of SVGs differ from that of native coronary vessels, increasing the risk of restenosis.2 SVG disease after CABG is a strong predictor of mortality.3 In a… View more

Section A Techniques for Chronic Total Occlusions Revascularisation Access Route, Guiding Catheter Selection and Contralateral Injection The femoral approach is the preferred access route by most operators. However, the radial approach might be chosen because of severe peripheral vascular disease, operator’s preference or for contralateral injection. The guiding principle of access selection is… View more

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are identified in up to one-third of all patients referred for diagnostic coronary angiography,1 with an incidence increasing with age.2 CTOs still represent the most technically challenging lesion subset that interventional cardiologists face. The benefits of successful CTO recanalisation are related to improved survival,3,4 most notably in patients with… View more

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) remain one of the most challenging percutaneous challenges in interventional cardiology, with technical success rates of only ~50–70 %.1,2 This lesion subset often poses the greatest risk and often requires techniques and equipment not typically utilised for more acute coronary lesions. However, successful percutaneous CTO revascularisation is associated… View more

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are identified in up to one third of patients with coronary artery disease referred for nonurgent coronary angiography,1,2 with an incidence increasing with age.3 Conceptually, you may argue that the motivation to reopen a totally blocked artery is not as strong as for subocclusive lesions, that have the potential to progress and cause acute events. The… View more

The treatment of critical limb ischaemia (CLI), a condition that may eventually lead to limb loss in a substantial number of patients, consumes a significant amount of healthcare resources. Distal bypass for limb salvage with autogenous conduit has been considered the procedure of choice for good-risk patients who also have suitable veins and distal target arteries for bypass. However, often one… View more

Contemporary Techniques for Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions Revascularisation: Sharing Experience in a Global World
Author(s): Heinz Joachim Büttner , Masahisa Yamane , Nicolaus Reifart , et al Added: 3 years ago
Introduction and Objectives A symposium, chaired by Dr Heinz Joachim Büttner of Freiburg-Bad Krozingen (Germany) and Dr Masahisa Yamane of St Luke’s International Hospital (Tokyo, Japan) took place at EuroPCR, Paris on May 23rd, 2014. Its objectives were as follows: to learn how to improve the success of percutaneous intervention (PCI) in chronic total occlusion (CTO) by matching techniques to… View more
