Solving Challenging Situations and Complications in Everyday Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Chronic Total Occlusion Techniques

The use of SVGs for retrograde native vessel CTO-PCI has received limited study. We reviewed the medical records and coronary angiograms of retrograde CTO-PCIs performed through an SVG at 4 U.S. institutions between 2012 and 2013.

The use of SVGs for retrograde...
