Case 1: Retrograde CTO wiring of CX bifurcation
Author: Evald H Christiansen, MD, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark
CASE
- 77 year old female
- CCS II during 6 months
- Ecco: normal
- EKG: normal
- Only risk factor hypertension
PCI STRATEGY?
- RCA only?
- CX only?
- Staged procedure?
- CX bifurcation strategy?
CONCLUSION
CTO techniques can be applied in difficult angulated bifurcations:
- Retrograde wirering
- Use of microcatheters
