CTO PCI using the hybrid algorithm has traditionally been performed femorally using 8 Fr sheaths. Antegrade dissection and re-entry has facilitated procedures using 6 or 7 Fr guides via the radial artery. Radial artery dysfunction is a...

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...

Bilateral distal transradial intervention is a new primary access strategy for chronic total occlusion interventions. We provide a brief review of recent studies and offer the rationale behind this promising approach.

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.

Balloon shaft fracture can be challenging to treat in the setting of retrograde CTO-PCI with guidewire externalization; withdrawal of the guide catheter may allow successful removal of the balloon shaft fragment.
