Global Chronic Total Occlusion Crossing Algorithm
Wu, EB; Brilakis, ES; Mashayekhi, K; Tsuchikane, E; Alaswad, K; Araya, M; Avran, A; Azzalini, L; Babunashvili, AM; Bayani, B; Behnes, M; Bhindi, RThe 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...
