Aims: This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided intraplaque wiring for femoropopliteal (FP) chronic total occlusion (CTO).
Methods: This single-center, retrospective, observational study was performed at the Japanese Red Cross Kyoto Daini Hospital. From March 2013 to June 2017, a total of 75 consecutive patients (mean age: 75.4±8.5 years; 59 males), who underwent endovascular treatment (EVT), having 82 de novo FP-CTO lesions, were enrolled in this study. Eleven of the lesions that met the exclusion criteria were excluded, and the remaining 71 lesions were divided into the IVUS-guided wiring group (n=34) and non-IVUS-guided wiring group (n=37). Primary patency, defined as a peak systolic velocity ratio of ＜2.4 on duplex ultrasonography, and freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) at 12 months were the primary outcomes.
Results: The mean lesion length was 21.6±8.9 cm. The frequencies of primary patency and freedom from CD-TLR were significantly higher in the IVUS-guided wiring group than in the non-IVUS-guided wiring group (70.0% vs. 52.2%, p=0.045; 83.9% vs. 62.8%, p=0.036, respectively). The complete clinically true lumen angioplasty rate was also higher in the IVUS-guided wiring group than in the non-IVUS-guided wiring group (91.1% vs. 51.3%, p＜0.001, respectively). The clinically true and false wire passage rates were respectively 97.3% and 2.7% in the IVUS-guided wiring group.
Conclusion: IVUS-guided wiring improves the clinical outcomes of EVT for FP-CTO by achieving a high clinically true lumen wire passage rate.

Background: Endovascular therapy is an effective method for revascularization in lower extremity artery disease, but treating chronic total occlusion (CTO) remains challenging. This is particularly true for patients with severe calcification, poor run-off in below-the-knee arteries, or limited access sites, where even guidewire (GW) passage can be difficult and bidirectional approaches are often not feasible. The tip-detection (TD) method has been reported as a useful technique in coronary artery CTO interventions, allowing real-time visualization of the GW tip direction.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a case involving a 78-year-old man with stable angina due to a chronic total occlusion (CTO) in the left circumflex coronary artery, treated using advanced techniques.
- It highlights the successful use of tip detection-antegrade dissection re-entry (TDADR) guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as an alternative when the subintimal tracking and re-entry (STAR) technique failed to recanalize the main vessel.
- At the 12-month follow-up, the patient reported no angina, and imaging showed that the treated areas remained open with no significant restenosis, though challenges like limited access to IVUS may hinder broader use of TDADR.

Background: The tip-detection method and the retrograde approach have been acknowledged as a second-line strategies for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when conventional antegrade wiring strategies are ineffective. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy between both strategies for complex CTO PCI.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 170 consecutive CTO PCI cases and separated them into 295 adopted strategies.

Complex coronary total occlusion (CTO) lesions percutaneous treatment, especially in contexts where traditional antegrade strategies have failed and retrograde approaches are unsuitable, due to lack of interventional collaterals or high risk of complications, presents a considerable challenge for interventional cardiologists. Antegrade dissection reentry has historically offered a bailout strategy in cases with unsuccessful antegrade wire escalation. Nevertheless, the technique-whether employing dual-lumen microcatheters or dedicated reentry devices, such as Stingray-encounters several limitations, particularly when the delivery of the system is not possible, or extraplaque large hematomas, which complicates reentry.
