the subject of this presentation
Disclosure Statement of Financial Interest
• Entry point evaluation and wire penetration in ambiguous proximal cap, Ostial LAD
CTO
• IVUS for ADR strategy from subintimal space
• IVUS for Reverse CART: correct position, balloon sizing, wires connection
• Difficult Re-entry in Retrograde approach: True Ostial CTO’s ..
• IVUS for Vessel size evaluation and stent implantation during CTO PCI avoiding
antegrade injection

FINAL RESULT
Pre CTO PCI Post CTO PCI
(5 months)
EF 10% EF 50%
55y male, mid RCA CTO, blunt stump with
retrograde collaterals . Failure antegrade attempt
Second attempt
IVUS guided good puncture for Entry point with
Hornet 14 and Failure : subintimal in distal RCA
IVUS FOR ADR
mid-LAD CTO with blunt stump, NO retrogade

subintimal space

In the intimal space
8F: CORSAIR + IVUS

in the distal vessel
(all true lumen)
FINAL RESULT
after 3 BVS
GAIA 3 rd retrograde crossing
Conquest Pro 9 sub-intimal – IVUS PULL BACK confirmation
Finecross + HORNET 14: IVUS-guided re-entry from subintimal space (Pullback)
Hornet 14 exchanged with Sion on Finecross
IVUS Pullback on Sion wire: all intraluminal !!!
FINAL RESULT
IVUS FOR ENTRY POINT FAILURE
DUAL LUMEN FAILURE

Hornet 14 and Failure : subintimal in distal RCA
RETROGRADE APPROACH: Reverse CART with 2.5mm balloon
distal and Failure in distal re-entry with Guidezilla 6f
DISTAL RCA NO CONNECTION:
IVUS subintimal, Retrograde wire intimal
