The retrograde approach to coronary artery chronic total occlusions: a practical approach.

TL;DR: A practical review with step‐by‐step instructions on the indications for retrograde interventions, equipment and retrograde channel selection, and techniques for retro grade crossing and treatment of chronic total occlusions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retrograde recanalization of chronic total coronary artery occlusion using a novel "reverse wire trapping" technique.

TL;DR: A novel “reverse wire trapping” technique is described that can help create an antegrade wire route to open CTO after the wire has passed through the CTO retrogradely, even though the retrograde balloon dilatation or antegrade wiring was unapproachable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retrograde Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention.

TL;DR: This article goes into depth into various strategies of retrograde approach in CTO, one of the most challenging subsets of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
Journal ArticleDOI

Current status of percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusion.

TL;DR: Results show that opening an occluded vessel, especially one supplying a considerable area of myocardium, may be beneficial for a patient’s angina relief and heart function.
Journal Article

Retrograde approach for the recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusion: preliminary experience of a single center.

TL;DR: The retrograde approach can be an effective tool for increasing the success rate of recanalization in the very complex CTO, and careful case selection and device handling by experienced operators is essential.

Different strategies of retrograde approach in coronary angioplasty for chronic total occlusion.

TL;DR: Retrograde approach through the collateral channels has the potential to improve the success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in chronic total occlusion lesions of the coronary arteries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angioplasty for chronic total occlusion by using tapered-tip guidewires.

TL;DR: The use of tapered‐tip guidewires can improve the success rate of PCI in CTO lesions and the following guideline for the termination of the procedures is reasonable: time from arterial access to successful penetration of a guidewire through occlusion ≤ 30 min; total procedure time ≤ 90 min; and total dye volume ≤ 300 ml.

Coronary septal collaterals as an access for the retrograde approach in the percutaneous treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions

TL;DR: Coronary septal collaterals can be used as an access for the retrograde approach in the percutaneous treatment of CTOs, and this approach allows to significantly increase this success rate.
