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...

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...
