Limited evidence exists regarding the long-term outcomes of true versus nontrue coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) treated with current-generation drug-eluting stents and intravascular imaging guidance. The Sapporo Cardiovascular Clinic (SCVC) registry was a prospective, single-center, all-comers registry enrolling 1,727 consecutive patients treated with bioresorbable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent under complete imaging guidance. From this registry, 440 patients with CBLs (25.

- The TD-ADR technique helps operators navigate chronic total occlusions (CTOs) by integrating guidewire observation via fluoroscopic and IVUS images for better accuracy.
- A 41-year-old patient with heart issues underwent PCI for an occluded artery; initial attempts failed, but the new 'integrated TD-ADR' method successfully treated the lesion after it re-occluded.
- This technique could improve PCI success rates in complex cases, but more research is needed to evaluate its clinical viability.
Bailout subintimal trans-catheter withdrawal (STRAW) technique for a distally extended coronary hematoma.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
September 2024
A coronary hematoma, which can sometimes obstruct coronary flow, may be left behind after tip-detection antegrade dissection and reentry. We present a novel bailout technique utilizing subintimal trans-catheter withdrawal technique with the assistance of a stent and a balloon. This technique can be used before performing bailout long stenting or a fenestration procedure with a cutting balloon, which are standard treatments for hematoma, to improve impaired coronary flow caused by a distally extended hematoma.
