“…Failure to cross is the main reason for procedural failure, although in some cases equipment may not be able to be delivered into the lesion after successful guidewire crossing [2]. Occasionally use of advanced techniques, such as retrograde techniques and use of the Venture catheter [9] may be required when crossing is especially challenging, as in case 3 of our series.…”

We describe treatment of six chronic total occlusions due to in-stent restenosis with the CrossBoss catheter (BridgePoint Medical, Minneapolis, Minnesota). The CrossBoss catheter allowed successful CTO crossing in 5 of 6 lesions (83%): in 50% the catheter entered the distal true lumen, whereas in 33% a wire was required for distal true lumen crossing. No complications were observed. Use of the CrossBoss catheter can facilitate treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions due to in-stent restenosis.

“…In the second case, no retrograde option was feasible due to lack of interventional collaterals . Antegrade attempts had failed due to steep angulation and lack of appropriate support, in spite of using a Venture catheter (St Jude Medical, Minneapolis, MN) .…”

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) can be challenging. Although several crossing techniques are available, in some cases their application fails to cross the occlusion. Carlino et al. have pioneered the technique of hydraulic microdissection by contrast injection through a microcatheter inserted into the lesion. We report two CTO PCI cases in which the use of the Carlino technique enabled success after other crossing strategies failed to cross the occlusion. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…20 Furthermore, the Venture wire control catheter (St Jude, Minneapolis, MN, USA) has been used both as a device for wire support at the site of proximal cap entry and, more importantly, due to its ability to form angulation, has been described for distal true lumen re-entry, both with routine CTO wires and together with the Stingray 0.0035 inch tapered tip stiff wire for luminal re-entry, especially in cases of occlusive instent restenosis CTOs. 21 – 23 A novel technique described to enter the proximal cap for challenging CTOs has been the open sesame technique. There are some similarities between our balloon rupture technique and the plaque shift theorized with the open sesame technique that allows for proximal cap penetration.…”

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) angioplasty is one of the most challenging procedures remaining for the interventional operator. Recanalizing CTOs can improve exercise capacity, symptoms, left ventricular function and possibly reduce mortality. Multiple strategies such as escalating wire, parallel wire, see-saw, contralateral injection, subintimal tracking and re-entry (STAR), retrograde wire techniques (controlled antegrade retrograde subintimal tracking, CART), reverse CART, confluent balloon, rendezvous in coronary, and other techniques have all been described. Selection of the most appropriate approach is based on assessment of vessel course, length of occluded segment, presence of bridging collaterals, presence of bifurcating side branches at the occlusion site, and other variables. Today, with significant operator expertise and the use of available techniques, the literature reports a 50–95% success rate for recanalizing CTOs.
