However, reports on the utilization of the ipsilateral septal CC are limited.Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the ipsilateral septal CC in retrograde CTO PCI.Methods: Twenty-five patients with successful wire CC tracking via the ipsilateral septal CC in retrograde CTO PCI were retrospectively analyzed. All procedures were performed by experienced CTO operators. Procedures were divided into the left descending coronary artery (LAD)-septal-LAD group and the LAD-septal-left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) group. Procedural complications and in-hospital outcomes were ascertained.Results: Both groups were similar with respect to risk factors and angiographic characteristics of the CTO, except for the collateral tortuosity (86.7% vs 20%, p=0.002). The success rate of microcatheter CC tracking was 96%. Both technical success and procedural success rates were 92%. Procedural complications were found in one case (septal perforation, 4%), which happened in the LAD-septal-LAD group (p=0.250). One postoperative adverse event (Q-wave myocardial infarction, 4%) was observed before discharge.Conclusion: The retrograde approach via the ipsilateral septal CC was feasible, with high success rates and acceptable complications, in the hands of experienced operators.Keywords: percutaneous coronary interventions, chronic total occlusions, ipsilateral septal collateral, left coronary artery |
