Percutaneous Recanalization of Multiple Coronary CTOs |
- Operator: Nae-Hee Lee, MD |
A 55-year-old Korean man presented with 1-year history of effort chest pain. He had a history of smoking and hypertension. His Echocardiogram showed hypokinesia of RCA territory with normal systolic function and his Treadmill test result was positive at stage II. |
Baseline coronary angiogram |
The diagnostic coronary angiogram revealed total occlusion at proximal RCA, mid LAD and proximal LCX with grade III collateral flow from Diagonal to LAD, LAD to RCA. (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3) |
Procedure |
We decided to PCI because the patient refused CABG. We had a plan to perform PCI by retrograde approach. After engagement of an 8 French EBU guiding catheter to the left main ostium, we inserted Fielder wire with a micro-catheter into the diagonal branch for the ipsilateral retrograde approach (Figure 4). Then, Conquest-pro 12 punctured the proximal cap and entered the true lumen of LAD and dilated the proximal cap with the one point two five(1.25) balloon. After pre-dilatation with two point zero(2.0) and two point five(2.5) balloon sequentially (Figure 5), conventional wire crossed the LAD antegradely. Endeavor stents were deployed at the lesion by crushing technique (Figure 6). Final left angiogram showed good result (Figure 7). Then we performed RCA PCI by contra-lateral retrograde approach. The Fielder wire with a micro-catheter got to the distal portion of RCA lesion through the LAD septal channel (Figure 8). Fortunately, the Conquest-pro 12 punctured the proximal cap and sequential pre-dilatation was done (Figure 9). After multiple pre-dilatation, we could insert Fielder wire antegradely. We dilated the lesion with two point five(2.5) and three point zero(3.0) balloon. Three Endeavor stents were deployed at the long lesion. But we could not dilate fully at the calcified proximal RCA lesion with a non-compliant balloon (Figure 10). Final angiogram showed successful revascularization at RCA CTO lesion (Figure 11). |
