Tóm tắt

The retrograde approach to chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly contributed to the success rates of CTO PCI. It is usually performed in complex CTO lesions, in which the antegrade approach is not feasible or fails. In this article we discuss the steps to perform retrograde CTO PCI and its complications and success rates. Considering the moderate to high success rates of the retrograde approach in the hands of experienced operators and higher complication rates than antegrade only procedures, optimizing the safety of retrograde CTO PCI is of paramount importance.
