We review the literature regarding the potential problems of the Impella CP catheter, including dislodgment, mechanical failure, and the need to remove the catheter while maintaining arterial access to either insert a new mechanical...

Contrary to popular wisdom, predominantly unilateral aortoiliac bifurcation disease can be safely treated with a single stent if the contralateral common iliac ostium is protected with matching balloon inflation.

A dual-access approach for CTO intervention using transradial and ipsilateral transulnar access is reported. Although retrograde CTO intervention is a challenging procedure, a single arm-double access approach seems to be a feasible...

Although intramural hematomas are identifiable on intravascular ultrasound, OCT offers superior characterization and exclusion of alternate diagnoses, such as plaque erosion.

Bypass grafts may tent the vessel to which they are anastomosed, potentially changing the expected course of the native coronary vessel. This fact must be taken into account during CTO-PCI, and this case emphasizes the importance of careful...

Aorto-coronary occlusion is a particularly difficult lesion to treat, especially in an emergent setting. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the use of a microcatheter not to support the guidewire, but to open an aorto-coronary...
