Successful percutaneous coronary intervention to the left anterior . . . Left internal mammary artery-LAD was widely patent The previous LIMA-LAD stent at the anastomosis had a CTO with severe in-stent restenosis (ISR) at the distal end of the stent in the native LAD The distal LAD was filled from bridging collaterals
Chronic Total Occlusion of the Left Anterior Descending Artery (LAD) in . . . Introduction Chronic total occlusions (CTO) in patients with previous revascularization surgery represent a significant challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) This case describes the recanalization of a CTO in the LAD, using an anterograde approach and the support of the Navitian microcatheter for lesion preparation
Chronic total occlusion location and outcomes after percutaneous . . . Methods Patients were retrospectively selected from a single-center CTO registry and followed up for approximately 10 years The patients were grouped based on the presence of LAD CTO and whether the CTO was revascularized Inverse probability weighting adjustment was also performed
Medicover Journal of Medicine - journals. lww. com Chronic total occlusion (CTO) intervention of ostial left anterior descending artery (LAD) left circumflex artery (LCX) lesions without a clear cap poses challenges for wiring due to the angle of entry and unclear entry
A Case of Chronic Total Occlusion of the Left Anterior Descending . . . We herein report a case of CTO that was successfully treated with a side branch technique using a Soutenir CV This method appears to be hopeful as a novel side branch technique for a substantial number of CTO patients
