Percutaneous intentional extraluminal recanalization (PIER) is an endovascular subintimal crossing technique used to treat chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the peripheral arteries. Intraluminal revascularization remains the standard over PIER when technically feasible; however, when intraluminal approaches fail, PIER may be preferred prior to pursuit of surgical bypass grafting. The major cause of failure of PIER is inability to reenter the true lumen after crossing the CTO. Therefore, several reentry devices and endovascular techniques have been developed to allow for the operators to safely and quickly access the true lumen distal to the occlusion. Reentry devices currently available on the market include the Pioneer Plus catheter, Outback Elite catheter, OffRoad catheter, Enteer catheter, and GoBack catheter. These devices have unique methods of use and specific advantages with regard to their technical success along with reduced procedural and fluoroscopic time. In addition, there are other endovascular techniques available that may facilitate true lumen reentry and these will also be reviewed.

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is high risk compared to non-CTO PCI. Iatrogenic coronary artery hematoma formation is a common occurrence during CTO PCI, impairing true lumen visualization. We describe the use of a continuous mechanical suction (CMS) device in 2 applications in which it was used for successful subintimal hematoma decompression and distal vessel re-entry.

Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Spontaneously occurring life threatening reentrant arrhythmias result when a propagating premature beat encounters a region with significant dispersion of refractoriness. Although localized structural tissue heterogeneities and prescribed cell functional gradients have been incorporated into computational electrophysiological models, a quantitative framework for the evolution from normal to abnormal behavior that occurs via disease is lacking.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a probabilistic modeling framework that represents the complex interplay of cell function and tissue structure in health and disease which predicts the emergence of premature beats and the initiation of reentry.
Parallel Wire Approach for Recanalisation of Chronic Total Coronary Occlusions in a Large Contemporary Multi-Center Registry.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicin and Cardiology, Heartcenter Lahr, Lahr, Germany.
Background: The parallel wire technique (PW) is a classic part of the antegrade strategy to open chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO).
Aims: With modern wires and dual-lumen catheters (DLC) the approach has evolved, but this progress had not been evaluated in a contemporary registry of CTO interventions.
Method: This analysis is based on 26,589 CTO procedures performed by 36 operators with > 50 procedures annually between 2015 and 2022.
Impact of Implant Design on Outcomes of Simultaneous Guided Bone Regeneration for Dehiscence Defects: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the implications of implant design on the outcomes of simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) to correct dehiscence defects.
Methods: A structured search strategy was applied to MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane Library, and Embase, to identify prospective clinical trials involving implants with simultaneous GBR to correct dehiscence defects. Data regarding implant characteristics, GBR materials, as well as dehiscence defect dimensions at implant placement and surgical re-entry was collected.
Percutaneous recanalization of lower limb chronic total occlusions via tibial artery access using the BeBack™ crossing catheter.

Division of Diagnostic Imaging, Sheba Medical Center, Israel.
Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BeBack™ crossing catheter for percutaneous recanalization of lower limb chronic total occlusions (CTO) via tibial artery access in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).
Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included 21 patients who underwent 22 limb recanalization procedures between May 2021 and April 2024. The BeBack™ catheter was utilized after traditional methods of recanalization failed.
