Optical coherence tomography in coronary atherosclerosis assessment and interve...
Araki, Makoto; Park, Seung-Jung; Dauerman, Harold L.; Uemura, Shiro; Kim, Jung-Sun; Di Mario, Carlo; Johnson, Thomas W.; Guagliumi, GiulioSince optical coherence tomography (OCT) was first performed in humans two decades ago, this imaging modality has been widely adopted in research on coronary atherosclerosis and adopted clinically for the optimization of percutaneous coronary intervention. In the past 10 years, substantial advances have been made in the understanding of in vivo vascular biology using OCT. Identification by OCT of culprit plaque...
Global chronic total occlusion crossing algorithm: JACC state-of-the-Art review
Wu, Eugene B.; Brilakis, Emmanouil S.; Mashayekhi, Kambis; Tsuchikane, Etsuo; Alaswad, Khaldoon; Araya, Mario; Avran, Alexandre; Azzalini, LorenzoThe authors developed a global chronic total occlusion crossing algorithm following 10 steps: 1) dual angiography; 2) careful angiographic review focusing on proximal cap morphology, occlusion segment, distal vessel quality, and collateral circulation; 3) approaching proximal cap ambiguity using intravascular ultrasound, retrograde, and move-the-cap techniques; 4) approaching poor distal vessel quality using th...

Guiding principles for chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary interventi...
Brilakis, Emmanouil S.; Mashayekhi, Kambis; Tsuchikane, Etsuo; Abi Rafeh, Nidal; Alaswad, Khaldoon; Araya, Mario; Avran, Alexandre; Azzalini, LorenzoOutcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have improved because of advancements in equipment and techniques. With global collaboration and knowledge sharing, we have identified 7 common principles that are widely accepted as best practices for CTO-PCI. 1. Ischemic symptom improvement is the primary indication for CTO-PCI. 2. Dual coronary angiography and in-depth and s...
