Abstract:
Passage failure of guidewire is still remained most common reason for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) failure in chronic total occlusion (CTO). Intravascular ultrasound study (IVUS) and cardiac CT angiography can help identify features that most influence current success rates of PCI. We report our experience using the reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde subintimal tracking technique under the aid of IVUS, cardiac CT angiography for an ambiguous CTO of proximal right coronary artery.
