• CTO-BFL are associated with lower

months
35. Mechanisms of Side-branch
occlusion
The retrograde
wire followed a short subintimal course,
Reentering into true lumen at bifurcation
The stent was adjusted to the ostium, thus not
covering the entry (i.e., proximal)
point to the subintimal space
stent expansion resulted in proximal extension
of the subintimal space, occluding the LCx
ostium
→ use intracoronary imaging (OCT / IVUS) to understand side branch
anatomy and wire position (in true lumen?)

• Heart Team discussions regarding the likelihood of complete revascularization with PCI or CABG
• Comprehensive informed consent for patients regarding the likelihood of CTO PCI success &

CTO PCI:
1) is performed with increasing success rates
2) overall, carries low risk of major complications
3) compared to successful CTO PCI, unsuccessful CTO
PCI is associated with significantly higher MACE rates

Table: Simple vs. complex CT-Cutoffs
50. THE CONCEPT OF THE “HYBRID APPROACH”
After dual coronary
angiography, four angiographic parameters are assessed:
1) proximal cap location and (non-) ambiguity; 2) occlusion length;
3) quality of the distal vessel; 4) presence of collaterals suitable
for retrograde techniques (“interventional collaterals”). Based on
these four features, an initial strategy and hierarchy for subsequent
approaches are established. The hybrid algorithm has been shown to be effective (success rates of ~90%), safe
(low rates of complications:
tamponade 1.3%, periprocedural myocardial infarction
1.0%, death 0.4%), and efficient (favourable procedural metrics)50.
Additionally, the mantra of this algorithm is its reproducibility and
the fact that it can be easily taught/learned, resulting in high success
rates obtained by new operators63.
