Equipment Utilization in Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Interventions: Update From the PROGRESS-CTO Registry

A 60-year-old man was referred for percutaneous coronary intervention of a proximal left circumflex chronic total occlusion with distal filling via epicardial collaterals from the left anterior descending artery. The 30-mm lesion had a...

Impact of Successful Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Interventions on Subsequent Clinical Outcomes

Sevket Gorgulu , MD;

The retrograde approach to coronary chronic total occlusions can be used as the initial crossing strategy (primary retrograde) or after failure of antegrade crossing attempts (secondary retrograde).

The retrograde approach to...
