Background High success rates are achievable for chronic total occlusion ( CTO ) percutaneous coronary intervention PCI using the hybrid approach, but periprocedural complications remain of concern. Although scores estimating and efficiency in have been developed, there is currently no available score estimation risk complications. We sought to develop a scoring tool prediction during . Methods Results analyzed data from 1569 s Prospective Global Registry Study Chronic Total Occlusion...
Background— We sought to examine the efficacy and safety of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention using retrograde approach. Methods Results— compared outcomes versus antegrade-only approach among 1301 procedures performed at 11 experienced US centers between 2012 2015. The mean age was 65.5±10 years, 84% patients were men with a high prevalence diabetes mellitus (45%) previous artery bypass graft surgery (34%). Overall technical procedural success rates 90% 89%,...
To examine the relationship between occupational exposure to ionizing radiation and prevalence of lens changes in interventional cardiologists (ICs) catheterization laboratory ("cath-lab") staff.Exposure is associated with development opacities. ICs cath-lab staff can receive high doses without protection, may thus be at risk for opacity formation.We conducted a cross-sectional study an cardiology conference. Study participants completed questionnaire pertaining potential confounders...
Balloon uncrossable lesions can be challenging to treat, requiring specialized techniques and equipment.We examined the prevalence, clinical angiographic characteristics, management procedural outcomes of balloon in a multicenter chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) registry.Between 2012 2016, 718 CTO PCIs (in which was successfully crossed with guidewire) were performed 701 patients at 11 US centers. Mean age 65.6 ± 10 years 84% men. represented 9% all...
Background Intravascular imaging can facilitate chronic total occlusion ( CTO ) percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods and Results We examined the frequency of use outcomes intravascular among 619 interventions performed between 2012 2015 at 7 US centers. Mean age was 65.4±10 years 85% patients were men. used in 38%: ultrasound 36%, optical coherence tomography 3%, both 1.45%. for stent sizing (26.3%), optimization (38.0%), crossing (35.7%, antegrade 27.9%, retrograde 7.8%). to more...
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly evolved in recent years.
Abstract Background The prevalence, treatment and outcomes of balloon undilatable chronic total occlusions (CTOs) have received limited study. Methods We examined the clinical angiographic characteristics, procedural percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) for CTOs in a contemporary multicenter US registry. Results Between 2012 2017 data on lesions were available 425 consecutive CTO PCIs 415 patients whom guidewire crossing was successful: 52 (12%). Mean patient age 65 ± 10 years most men...
Objectives We sought to describe contemporary guidewire and microcatheter utilization for antegrade wire escalation (AWE) during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background Equipment AWE has been variable evolving over time. Methods examined device 694 attempts in 679 patients performed at 15 experienced US centers between May 2012 April 2015. Results Mean age was 65.6 ± 9.7 years, 85% of the were men. Successful wiring occurred 436 (63%). Final...
