Comparison Between Traditional and Guide-Catheter Extension Reverse Controlled Antegrade Dissection and Retrograde Tracking: Insights From the PROGRESS-CTO Registry

Aram Badoyan , MD;

Inability to cross the lesion with a balloon is the second-most common cause of technical failure, with the most common cause being the inability to cross with the wire. We propose a new, effective method for treating balloon-uncrossable...

In-Hospital Outcomes of Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

We compared the outcomes of traditional rCART vs guide-catheter extension rCART vs cases in which both techniques were used (combined rCART) in patients with successful retrograde CTO crossing in a contemporary multicenter CTO-PCI registry.

We compared the outcomes of...
