Research Article: Antegrade versus Retrograde Approach for Recanalization of Ostial or Stumpless Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion
Introduction:
Recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) improves myocardial ischemia symptom and patient's quality of life. , Notwithstanding the inherent intricacies and elevated risk of failure in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CTO, advancements in devices, experience, and techniques have led to improved success rates. Failure to successfully navigate the guidewire into the true lumen remains the primary reason for unsuccessful CTO PCI. , Ostial or stumpless CTOs delineate a specialized…
