Purpose: The optical-coherence tomography guided Ocelot catheter has previously been shown to be a safe and effective tool for crossing peripheral chronic total occlusions. However, the existing literature focuses mostly on the superficial femoral artery, without prior evidence of use within the suprainguinal vasculature.
Case Series: We present the first known cases of the Ocelot catheter for revascularization of chronic total occlusions in the iliac vasculature. In the first case a retrograde approach is used for intervention of the right common iliac artery, while in the second case an antegrade approach is used for revascularization of the left external iliac artery.
Conclusions: In this case report we first demonstrate as proof of feasibility the use of the Ocelot catheter in suprainguinal artery chronic total occlusions.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different levels of stimulus affect coughing in 15 anesthetized cats using three methods of tracheal stimulation.
- Higher levels of stimulation led to an increase in the quantity and intensity of coughs, as well as a decrease in the duration of cough characteristics.
- The findings suggest that varying cough stimulus not only influences the frequency and force of coughs but also alters the timing and coordination of the coughing response, highlighting its importance for effective cough management.
