7 CTO artery dissection Wire dissections are an inherent part of CTO recanalisation procedure and not necessary a complication STAR Subintimal connection techniques Guiding catheter dissections are mostly unintended and should be avoided

8 GC CTO artery dissection PREVENTION: Prefer sideholes (for the right) and limit antegrade injection in proximal occlusions

9 Perforation: Classification Ellis Circulation 1992, 88 : I-787 Class Definition 1 Extraluminal crater without contrast extravasation 2 Pericardial or myocardial blush without contrast jet extravasation 3 Contrast jet extravasation through > 1mm perforation

10 CTO : Perforation

11 CTO Perforation Frequency Centre n Type 1 Type2 Total Tamp MAHI*** % 0.5% MAYO** % Toyohashi* % 1.4% 27.6% 1.5% *** Suero JACC 2001: 38,409 ** Prasad JACC 2007:49:1611 *Rathore JACC Card Int 2009:2,6:489

12 CTO : Perforation Causes Culprit Incidence Guidewire tip 88% Balloon inflation 6% Stent deployment 4% Rotablator 2%

13 Type 1 Perforation Management Watchful waiting

14 Type 2 Perforation Management Hydrophilic / CTO wires Distal perforation Reverse anticoagulation (partially) Embolisation : gelfoam /microshperes coils blood clot thrombin subcutaneous fat negative pressure suction via microcatheter

15 Type 3 Perforation Management Reverse anticoagulation Prolonged balloon inflation (tolerated) Cardiac Tamponade - echo Pericardiocentesis : pigtail Inotropes Access left femoral : 2 nd guiding catheter/ptfe stent Surgery

16 CTO Perforation Avoidance CTO wire : exchange for floppy wire after crossing CTO Hydrophilic wire : watch distal wire tip Avoid balloon oversizing : BA ratio < 1.2 : 1.0 Avoid stent oversizing : IVUS Calcified vessel preparation : Rotablator

17 Aortic Dissection CTO PCI Complications Frequency Centre Ao Dis Dissec Perf Tamp MAHI MAYO Toyohashi 1.0%

19 Aortic Dissection

20 Iatrogenic Coronary Aorto Dissection Causes Guide catheter trauma Injection of contrast : wedged catheter Balloon rupture Retrograde progression RCA dissection

21 Coronary Aorto Dissection Management Type 1 and 2 Dissection Minimise contrast injection Reverse anticoagulation Consider 5f Child catheter Stent intracoronary entry point dissection - coventional stent - covered stent Assess progression : TEE MSCT

22 Coronary Aorto Dissection Type 3 Dissection Management Surgical Intervention

23 Coronary Aorto Dissection Avoidance Amplatz guide : exercise caution Wedged catheter : do not inject contrast side hole catheter

24 Scheme to define contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) risk score Mehran, R. et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2004;44:

25 Avoidance of CIN Awareness of risk factors Optimize pre-procedure creatinine, hemodynamics Use of NAC, Bicarb drip, diuretics Appropriate contrast volume ~flouroscopic/guidewire clues ~microcatheter contralateral injections ~Biplane ~IVUS

26 Radiation: Differences between institutions Suzuki et al CCI 2008; 71: Technical factors Flat panel Biplane Projection plane Frame rate 2 patients of 72 with skin injury after 6.8 and 7.4 Gy, both with preferred projection 30 LAO 25 cranial, both 25 fr/s!!!

27 Protect your patient, and yourself Use every available physical shielding Avoid angulation for most of the time Use collimation as much as possible!!! Reduce frame rate but do not stop after 60 min fluoro if progressing, all the risk were wasted Adapted from G Werner

28 Limitations and complications of the current retrograde approach Occluded artery Retrograde perforation Retrograde dissection Collaterals Rupture/hematoma of the septal collaterals Perforation to the RV/LV Septal wire trapping Epicardial collateral rupture/perforation Epicardial flow disruption with ischemia Donor artery Spasm Dissection/thrombosis Others Inability to cross the collaterals Peri-procedural infarction

29 Summary PCI of a CTO is stable CAD treatment and must remain a safe procedure Some complications such as dissections are inherent in the procedure Perforations can be avoided by complete control of the wire position contralateral injection is essential!!! Contrast media induced damage Set a limit depending on the patients renal function, rather try again later Radiation induced damage Frequent change of projections and angulation/use collimation
