Limitations of Septal Channel Tracking with CART Dilatation of septal channel is mandatory to advance balloons through septal channel. These procedure carry the risk of septal channel perforation and septal hematoma. CART requires retrograde balloon access into the occlusion, however, it s sometimes difficult because of complex anatomy even after dilatation of the septal channel. Long procedure time always carries the risk of donor artery trouble (thrombus formation, etc).

In conclusions, In this FIM study, the CORSAIR can provide a high success rate with PCI in retrograde approach for CTO without major complications. These results indicate that this novel device is feasible and safe. Additional clinical trials should be considered to confirm these promising results.
