AI Article Synopsis
- Treatment of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) is more challenging than standard coronary procedures, requiring specialized techniques.
- Antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR) is a proven method that shows high success rates when performed by experienced medical teams.
- The use of combined devices like the TrapLiner guide-extension catheter enhances procedural efficiency by providing better guide-catheter support and improved outcomes during CTO interventions.
Article Abstract
Treatment of chronic total occlusions poses a specific set of challenges above and beyond those encountered in conventional percutaneous coronary intervention. Antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR) is an established and safe technique with high success rates in experienced centers. CTO techniques frequently require greater-than-usual guide-catheter support and rapid-exchange technologies. Either can be achieved with separate guide extension and a trapping balloon; in this case series of guide-extension facilitated ADR, we highlight the technical advantages gleaned from the use of combined devices such as the TrapLiner guide-extension catheter (Teleflex).
