Abstract
Background: The authors devised the tip detection (TD) method and developed AnteOwl WR intravascular ultrasound to standardize intravascular ultrasound-based 3-dimensional wiring for intraplaque tracking in chronic total occlusion (CTO)-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The TD method also allowed antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR). Combining TD-ADR with Conquest Pro 12 Sharpened Tip (CP12ST) wire, a new ADR wire with the strongest penetration force developed to date, enabled re-entry anywhere except calcification sites. Objectives: This study investigated the efficacy and feasibility of TD-ADR by comparison of procedural outcomes with Stingray-ADR in CTO-PCI. Methods: Twenty-seven consecutive CTO cases treated by TD-ADR with CP12ST wire between August 2021 and April 2023 and 27 consecutive CTO cases treated by Stingray-ADR with Conquest 8-20 (CP20) wire between March 2018 and July 2021 were retrospectively enrolled as the TD-ADR by CP12ST wire group and Stingray-ADR by CP20 wire group, respectively, from 4 facilities that could share technical information on these procedures. Results: = 0.028) in the TD-ADR by CP12ST wire group compared to the Stingray-ADR by CP20 wire group. There were few in-hospital major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events or no complications in either group. Conclusions: TD-ADR by CP12ST wire can standardize highly accurate ADR in CTO-PCI.
