Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited data on retrograde chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via ipsilateral epicardial collaterals (IEC). AIMS To compare the clinical and angiographic characteristics, and outcomes of retrograde CTO PCI via IEC versus other collaterals in a large multicenter registry. METHODS Observational cohort study from the Prospective Global registry for the study of Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention (PROGRESS-CTO). RESULTS Of 4466 retrograde cases performed between 2012 and 2023, crossing through IEC was attempted in 191 (4.3%) cases with 50% wiring success. The most common target vessel in the IEC group was the left circumflex (50%), in comparison to other retrograde cases, where the right coronary artery was most common (70%). The Japanese CTO score was similar between the two groups (3.13 ± 1.23 vs. 3.06 ± 1.06, p = 0.456); however, the IEC group had a higher Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention (PROGRESS-CTO) score (1.95 ± 1.02 vs. 1.27 ± 0.92, p < 0.0001). The most used IEC guidewire was the SUOH 03 (39%), and the most frequently used microcatheter was the Caravel (43%). Dual injection was less common in IEC cases (66% vs. 89%, p < 0.0001). Technical (76% vs. 79%, p = 0.317) and procedural success rates (74% vs. 79%, p = 0.281) were not different between the two groups. However, IEC cases had a higher procedural complications rate (25.8% vs. 16.4%, p = 0.0008), including perforations (17.3% vs. 9.0%, p = 0.0001), pericardiocentesis (3.1% vs. 1.2%, p = 0.018), and dissection/thrombus of the donor vessel (3.7% vs. 1.2%, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION The use of IEC for retrograde CTO PCI was associated with similar technical and procedural success rates when compared with other retrograde cases, but higher incidence of periprocedural complications.

Abstract
There is significant variation in wire utilization patterns for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of polymer-jacketed wires (PJWs) versus non-PJWs in anterograde procedures. We analyzed clinical and angiographic characteristics, and procedural outcomes of 7,575 anterograde CTO percutaneous coronary interventions that were performed at 47 centers between 2012 and 2023. Cases in which PJWs were exclusively used were classified in the PJW group, whereas cases where at least one non-PJW was employed were classified in the non-PJW group. Study end points were as follows: technical success, coronary perforation, major adverse cardiac event. PJWs were exclusively used in 3,481 cases (46.0%). These cases had lower prevalence of proximal cap ambiguity, blunt stump, and moderate/severe calcification. They also had lower Japanese CTO (J-CTO), Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Chronic Total Occlusion (PROGRESS-CTO), and PROGRESS-CTO complications scores, higher technical success (94.3% vs 85.7%, p <0.001), and lower perforation rates (2.2% vs 3.2%, p = 0.013). Major adverse cardiac event rates did not differ between groups (1.3% vs 1.5%, p = 0.53). Exclusive use of PJWs was independently associated with higher technical success in both the multivariable (odds ratio [OR] 2.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.13 to 3.36, p <0.001) and inverse probability of treatment weight analysis (OR 2.43, 95% CI 2.04 to 2.89, p <0.001). Exclusive use of PJWs was associated with lower risk of perforation in the multivariable analysis (OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.49 to 0.95, p = 0.02), and showed a similar trend in the inverse probability of treatment weight analysis (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.57 to 1.04, p = 0.09). Exclusive use of PJWs is associated with higher technical success and lower perforation risk in this non-randomized series of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antegrade wiring is the most commonly used chronic total occlusion (CTO) crossing technique. METHODS Using data from the PROGRESS CTO registry (Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention; Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT02061436), we examined the clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of CTO percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) performed using a primary antegrade wiring strategy. RESULTS Of the 13 563 CTO PCIs performed at 46 centers between 2012 and 2023, a primary antegrade wiring strategy was used in 11 332 (83.6%). Upon multivariable logistic regression analysis, proximal cap ambiguity (odds ratio [OR]: 0.52; 95% CI, 0.46-0.59), side branch at the proximal cap (OR: 0.85; 95% CI, 0.77-0.95), blunt/no stump (OR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.47-0.59), increasing lesion length (OR [per 10 mm increase]: 0.79; 95% CI, 0.76-0.81), moderate to severe calcification (OR: 0.73; 95% CI, 0.66-0.81), moderate to severe proximal tortuosity (OR: 0.67; 95% CI, 0.59-0.75), bifurcation at the distal cap (OR: 0.66; 95% CI, 0.59-0.73), left anterior descending artery CTO (OR [vs right coronary artery]: 1.44; 95% CI, 1.28-1.62) and left circumflex CTO (OR [vs right coronary artery]: 1.22; 95% CI, 1.07-1.40), non-in-stent restenosis lesion (OR: 0.56; 95% CI, 0.49-0.65), and good distal landing zone (OR: 1.18; 95% CI, 1.06-1.32) were independently associated with primary antegrade wiring crossing success. CONCLUSIONS The use of antegrade wiring as the initial strategy was high (83.6%) in our registry. We identified several parameters associated with primary antegrade wiring success.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate coronary artery integrity after very high radiation doses from intravascular brachytherapy (IVBT) in the setting of source asymmetry. METHODS Ten patients treated for right coronary artery (RCA) in-stent restenosis (ISR) between 2017 and 2021 and for whom follow-up angiograms were available were identified from departmental records. Procedural angiograms, taken to document source position, were used to estimate vascular wall doses. The 2.5 mm proximal source marker was used to estimate the distance from source center to the media and adventitia. Distances were converted to dose (Gy) using the manufacturers' dose fall-off table, measured in water. Follow-up films were scrutinized for any sign of late vascular damage. RESULTS The average minimal distance from catheter center to the adjacent media and the adventitia was 0.9 mm (±0.2) mm and 1.4 mm (±0.2), respectively. The average maximum media and adventitial doses adjacent to the source were 75 Gy (±26) and 39 Gy (±14), respectively. Follow-up angiograms were available from 0.6 years to 3.9 years following IVBT (median: 1.6 years). No IVBT-treated vascular segment showed signs of degeneration, dissection or aneurysm. CONCLUSION IVBT vascular wall doses are frequently far higher than prescribed. The lack of complications in this unselected group of patients gives a modicum of reassurance that raising the prescription dose is unlikely to lead to a sudden appearance of complications.

Abstract
Severely calcified chronic total occlusions (CTO) are particularly challenging to recanalize with a conventional wiring approach. Balloon-assisted subintimal entry (BASE) is an effective option to get access to the extraplaque space and set up for antegrade dissection/re-entry. However, conventional balloons are sometimes unable to dissect the vessel due to severe calcification, and alternative solutions are warranted. In this article, we report, for the first time, on the use of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) to facilitate BASE in the context of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) carries a non-negligible risk of coronary perforation. Definitive treatment of a proximal large vessel perforation often requires the use of covered stents; however, the latter carry significant risk of restenosis and thrombosis, and is not feasible if wire control of the distal vessel has not been achieved. We describe two cases of target vessel perforations during CTO PCI which were treated by the intentional creation of dissection flaps using the subintimal tracking and re-entry technique to seal the perforation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Contemporary chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice has received limited study. AIM To examine the contemporary CTO PCI practice. METHODS We performed an online, anonymous, international survey of CTO PCI operators. RESULTS Five hundred forty-five CTO PCI operators and 190 interventional cardiology fellows with an interest in CTO PCI participated in this survey. Almost half were from the United States (41%), most (93%) were men, and the median h/week spent in the hospital was 58. Median annual case numbers were 205 (150-328) for PCIs and 20 (5-50) for CTO PCIs. Almost one-fifth (17%) entered CTO cases into registries, such as PROGRESS-CTO (55%) and EuroCTO (20%). More than one-third worked at academic institutions (39%), 31% trained dedicated CTO fellows, and 22% proctored CTO PCI. One-third (34%) had dedicated CTO PCI days. Most (51%) never discharged CTO patients the same day, while 17% discharged CTO patients the same day >50% of the time. After successful guidewire crossing, 38% used intravascular imaging >90% of the time. Most used CTO scores including J-CTO (81%), PROGRESS-CTO (35%), and PROGRESS-CTO complications scores (30%). Coronary artery perforation was encountered within the last month by 19%. On a scale of 0-10, the median comfort levels in treating coronary artery perforation were: covered stents 8.8 (7.0-10), coil embolization 5.0 (2.1-8.5), and fat embolization 3.7 (0.6-7.3). Most (51%) participants had a complication cart/kit and 25% conducted regular complication drills with catheterization laboratory staff. CONCLUSION Contemporary CTO PCI practices vary widely. Further research on barriers to following the guiding principles of CTO PCI may improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal range of activated clotting time (ACT) in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has received limited study. METHODS We examined the association between ACT and in-hospital ischemic and bleeding outcomes in patients who underwent CTO PCI in the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of CTO Intervention. RESULTS ACT values were available for 4377 patients who underwent CTO PCI between 2012 and 2023 at 29 centers. The mean ACT distribution was less than 250 seconds (19%), 250 to 349 seconds (50%), and greater than or equal to 350 seconds (31%). The incidence of ischemic events, bleeding events, and net adverse cardiovascular events (NACE) was 0.8%, 3.0%, and 3.8%, respectively. In multiple logistic regression analysis, increasing nadir ACT was associated with decreasing ischemic events (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] per 50-second increments: 0.69 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.50-0.94; P=.017]; and increasing peak ACT was associated with increasing bleeding events (aOR per 50-second increments: 1.17 [95% CI ,1.01-1.36; P=.032]). A U-shaped association was seen between mean ACT and NACE, where restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated that patients with a low ( less than 200 seconds) or high ( greater than 400 seconds) ACT had increasing NACE risk compared with an ACT of 200 to 400 seconds (aOR 2.06, 95% CI 1.18-3.62; P=.012). CONCLUSIONS Among patients who underwent CTO PCI, mean ACT had a U-shaped relationship with NACE, where patients with a low ( less than 200 seconds) ACT (driven by ischemic events) or high ( greater than 400 seconds) ACT (driven by bleeding) had higher NACE compared with an ACT of 200 to 400 seconds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The contemporary frequency and outcomes of antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have received limited study. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and outcomes of ADR use in a large multicenter CTO PCI registry. METHODS The characteristics and outcomes of ADR were examined among 12,568 patients who underwent 12,841 CTO PCIs at 46 U.S. and non-U.S. centers between 2012 and 2023. RESULTS ADR was used in 2,385 of the procedures (18.6%). ADR use declined from 37.9% in 2012 to 14.5% in 2022 (P < 0.001). Patients in whom ADR was used had a high prevalence of comorbidities. Compared with cases that did not use ADR, ADR cases had more complex angiographic characteristics, higher mean J-CTO (Multicenter CTO Registry in Japan) score (2.94 ± 1.11 vs 2.23 ± 1.26; P < 0.001), lower technical success (77.0% vs 89.3%; P < 0.001), and higher in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (3.7% vs 1.6%; P < 0.001). The use of the CrossBoss declined from 71% in 2012 to 1.4% in 2022 and was associated with higher technical success (87%) compared with wire-based techniques (73%). The Stingray device displayed higher technical success (86%) compared with subintimal tracking and re-entry (STAR) (74%) and limited antegrade subintimal tracking (78%); however, its use has been decreasing, with STAR becoming the most used re-entry technique in 2022 (44% STAR vs 38% Stingray). CONCLUSIONS The use of ADR has been decreasing. ADR was used in more complex lesions and was associated with lower technical success and higher major adverse cardiac events compared with non-ADR cases. There has been a decrease in Stingray use and an increase in the use of STAR for re-entry.

Abstract
We examined the outcomes of the Carlino technique in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). We analyzed the baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics and outcomes of 128 CTO PCIs that included the Carlino technique at 22 US and no-US centers between 2016 and 2023. The Carlino technique was used in 128 (2.8%) of 4,508 cases that used anterograde dissection and reentry (78.9%) or the retrograde approach (21.1%) during the study period, and it increased steadily over time (from 0.0% in 2016 to 8.3% in 2023). The mean patient age was 65.6 ± 9.7 years, and 88.7% of the patients were men with high prevalence of hypertension (89.1%) and dyslipidemia (80.2%). The Carlino technique was more commonly used in cases with moderate to severe calcification (77.2% vs 55.5%, p <0.001) with higher J-CTO (3.3 ± 0.9 vs 3.0 ± 1.1, p = 0.007), Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention (PROGRESS-CTO) (1.7 ± 1.0 vs 1.4 ± 1.0, p = 0.001), PROGRESS-CTO Mortality (2.6 ± 0.9 vs 2.0 ± 0.9, p = 0.013) and PROGRESS-CTO Perforation (3.7 ± 1.1 vs 3.5 ± 1.0, p = 0.029) scores. Carlino cases had longer procedure and fluoroscopy time, and higher contrast volume and radiation dose. Carlino cases had lower technical (65.6% vs 78.5%, p <0.001) and procedural (63.3% vs 76.3%, p <0.001) success, similar major adverse cardiac events (6.2% vs 3.2%, p = 0.101) and higher incidence of pericardiocentesis (3.9% vs 1.3%, p = 0.042), perforation (18.0% vs 8.9%, p = 0.001) and contrast-induced acute kidney injury (2.3% vs 0.4%, p = 0.012). The Carlino technique was associated with higher procedural success when used for retrograde crossing (81.5% vs 58.4%, p = 0.047). The Carlino technique is increasingly being used in CTO PCI especially for higher complexity lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited data on the use of the balloon-assisted subintimal entry (BASE) technique in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We analyzed the baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics and outcomes of 155 CTO PCIs that utilized the BASE technique at 31 US and non-US centers between 2016 and 2023. RESULTS The BASE technique was used in 155 (7.9%) of 1968 antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR) cases performed during the study period. The mean age was 66 ± 10 years, 88.9% of the patients were men, and the prevalence of diabetes (44.6%), hypertension (90.5%), and dyslipidemia (88.7%) was high. Compared with 1813 ADR cases that did not use BASE, the target vessel of the BASE cases was more commonly the RCA and less commonly the LAD. Lesions requiring BASE had longer occlusion length (42 ± 23 vs. 37 ± 23 mm, p = 0.011), higher Japanese CTO (J-CTO) (3.4 ± 1.0 vs. 3.0 ± 1.1, p < 0.001) and PROGRESS-CTO (Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention chronic total occlusion) (1.8 ± 1.0 vs. 1.5 ± 1.0, p = 0.008) scores, and were more likely to have proximal cap ambiguity, side branch at the proximal cap, blunt/no stump, moderate to severe calcification, and proximal tortuosity. Technical (71.6% vs. 75.5%, p = 0.334) and procedural success (71.6% vs. 72.8%, p = 0.821), as well as major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (1.3% vs. 4.1%, p = 0.124), were similar in ADR cases that used BASE and those that did not. CONCLUSIONS The BASE technique is used in CTOs with longer occlusion length, higher J-CTO score, and more complex angiographic characteristics, and is associated with moderate success but also low MACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most randomized studies testing the effectiveness of IVBT were limited to vessels less than 4 mm diameter. In fact, it is now common to treat vessels larger than 4 mm. Accordingly, the authors instituted a prescription dose increase to 34 Gy at 2 mm from source center for vessels greater than 4.0 mm. The increase in prescription dose to 34 Gy at 2 mm from center is substantial, being 50% higher than the conventional maximum of 23 Gy. AIM To take a close look at group of patients treated to 34 Gy, and for whom follow-up angiograms are available. METHODS Ten patients treated for ISR with a prescription dose of 34 Gy and for whom follow-up angiograms were available were studied. Beta-radiation brachytherapy was performed with a Novoste Beta-Cath System using a strontium-90 (beta) source (Best Vascular, Springfield, VA). Source lengths of 40 or 60 mm were used. A dose of 34 Gy was prescribed at 2 mm from the source center. RESULTS Patients were re-catheterized from 2 to 21 months (median: 16 months) following IVBT, all for symptoms suggested of restenosis. All patients had some degree of ISR of the target vessel, but no IVBT-treated vascular segment showed angiographic signs of degeneration, dissection or aneurysm. CONCLUSION The authors' clinical impression, along with detailed review of the 10 cases, suggest that using a 34 Gy prescription dose at 2 mm from source center does not result in increased toxicity.

Abstract
The outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery have received limited study. We examined the baseline characteristics and outcomes of CTO PCIs performed at 47 United States and non-United States centers between 2012 and 2023. Of the 12,164 patients who underwent CTO PCI during the study period, 3,475 (29%) had previous CABG. Previous CABG patients were older, more likely to be men, and had more comorbidities and lower left ventricular ejection fraction and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Their CTOs were more likely to have moderate/severe calcification and proximal tortuosity, proximal cap ambiguity, longer lesion length, and higher Japanese CTO scores. The first and final successful crossing strategy was more likely to be retrograde. Previous CABG patients had lower technical (82.1% vs 88.2%, p <0.001) and procedural (80.8% vs 86.8%, p <0.001) success, higher in-hospital mortality (0.8% vs 0.3%, p <0.001), acute myocardial infarction (0.9% vs 0.5%, p = 0.007) and perforation (7.0% vs 4.2%, p <0.001) but lower incidence of pericardial tamponade and pericardiocentesis (0.1% vs 1.3%, p <0.001). At 2-year follow-up, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events, repeat PCI and acute coronary syndrome was significantly higher in previous CABG patients, whereas all-cause mortality was similar. In conclusion, patients with previous CABG who underwent CTO PCI had more complex clinical and angiographic characteristics and lower success rate, higher perioperative mortality, and myocardial infarction but lower tamponade, and higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events with similar all-cause mortality during follow-up.

Abstract
Angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA) is increasingly recognized and may affect nearly one-half of patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography for suspected ischemic heart disease. This working diagnosis encompasses coronary microvascular dysfunction, microvascular and epicardial spasm, myocardial bridging, and other occult coronary abnormalities. Patients with ANOCA often face a high burden of symptoms and may experience repeated presentations to multiple medical providers before receiving a diagnosis. Given the challenges of establishing a diagnosis, patients with ANOCA frequently experience invalidation and recidivism, possibly leading to anxiety and depression. Advances in scientific knowledge and diagnostic testing now allow for routine evaluation of ANOCA noninvasively and in the cardiac catheterization laboratory with coronary function testing (CFT). CFT includes diagnostic coronary angiography, assessment of coronary flow reserve and microcirculatory resistance, provocative testing for endothelial dysfunction and coronary vasospasm, and intravascular imaging for identification of myocardial bridging, with hemodynamic assessment as needed.

Abstract
Centers specializing in coronary function testing are critical to ensure a systematic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of angina with nonobstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA). Management leveraging lifestyle, pharmacology, and device-based therapeutic options for ANOCA can improve angina burden and quality of life in affected patients. Multidisciplinary care teams that can tailor and titrate therapies based on individual patient needs are critical to the success of comprehensive programs. As coronary function testing for ANOCA is more widely adopted, collaborative research initiatives will be fundamental to improve ANOCA care. These efforts will require standardized symptom assessments and data collection, which will propel future large-scale clinical trials.

Abstract
Coronary artery obstruction is a rare but life-threatening complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). While urgent percutaneous coronary intervention has been described in cases of acute occlusion, little is known about the interventional management of obstruction once it has occurred in the chronic setting. We describe a case in which electrocautery-assisted re-entry was successfully utilized to manage the right coronary artery and left main chronic total occlusion due to leaflet-induced coronary artery obstruction after TAVR.

Abstract
Surgical bypass grafts are commonly used retrograde conduits to facilitate chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). While extensive experience exists using saphenous vein grafts as retrograde conduits in CTO PCI, information on the utilization of arterial grafts is more limited. In particular, the gastroepiploic artery (GEA) is a very uncommonly used arterial graft in contemporary bypass surgery and its role for retrograde CTO recanalization has received little study. We describe a case of right coronary artery CTO that was recanalized using the retrograde approach via a GEA graft to the posterior descending artery and highlight the specific challenges of this approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE Coronary stents reduce IVBT radiation dose with a single layer by 10-30%. However, the impact of multiple stent layers and stent expansion remains unexplored. Individualized dose adjustments considering variations in stent layers and expansion could improve radiation delivery effectiveness. METHODS EGSnrc was used to compute the delivered vessel wall dose in various IVBT scenarios. Stent effects were modeled for the stent density of 25%, 50%, and 75% with 1, 2, and 3 layers respectively. Doses were calculated at 1.75 to 5.00 mm away from the source center, normalized to 100% at 2 mm. RESULTS Dose fall-off increased with increasing stent density. With a single layer, the dose at 2 mm from source fell from 100% of prescription to 92%, 83% and 73% at 25%, 50% and 75% density, respectively. The computed dose to points with increasing radial distance from the source decreased progressively with increasing stent layers. With three layers, at 75% stent density, the dose at 2 mm from source center fell to 38%. CONCLUSIONS A schema for image-guided IVBT dose adjustment is described. While it would be an improvement over current standard of care, myriad factors remain to be addressed in a comprehensive effort to optimize IVBT.

Abstract
Access to the arterial circulation and full anticoagulation carries a risk of serious bleeding during and after percutaneous coronary intervention. Important sources of bleeding include the arterial access site and coronary artery perforation. Prompt and effective management of hemorrhagic complications is an essential interventional skill. Protamine sulfate is well-known as a heparin reversal agent. Despite this, there is heterogeneity in the use of protamine during interventional procedures. While protamine is generally well-tolerated, it is associated with a risk of hypersensitivity reaction, including anaphylaxis, among others. The purpose of this review is to summarize the existing evidence about and experience with the use of protamine sulfate in the setting of percutaneous coronary and structural interventional procedures.

Abstract
The University of Washington's Engineering Innovation in Health program is a yearlong engineering design course sequence where senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students across different disciplines work in teams with health professionals to address their unmet needs. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, these team- and project-based courses shifted from an in-person to remote course environment. Here, we share innovative teaching strategies for a team-based, remote course environment. We show how this shift affected productivity by comparing survey results from before (in person) and during (remote) the pandemic. Preliminary results show that overall project outcomes and productivity were as high or, in some cases, higher during the pandemic than prior to the pandemic. These findings suggest that the innovative remote teaching strategies implemented by the teaching team provided effective options in the absence of certain hands-on experiences that are considered critical to engineering capstone design courses. A discussion on these teaching strategies in the context beyond the pandemic are considered in the discussion.

Abstract
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with high incidence of complications. We queried PubMed and the Cochrane Library (last search: October 26, 2022) for CTO PCI-specific periprocedural complication risk scores. We identified 8 CTO PCI-specific risk scores: (1) Angiographic coronary artery perforation (OPEN-CLEAN [Outcomes, Patient Health Status, and Efficiency iN (OPEN) Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Hybrid Procedures - CABG, Length (occlusion), EF <50%, Age, CalcificatioN] perforation, c-statistic 0.75): previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery, occlusion length 20 to 60 mm or ≥60 mm, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%, age 50 to 70 years or ≥70 years, heavy calcification. (2) Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (PROGRESS-CTO complication, c-statistic 0.76): age >65 years, lesion length ≥23 mm, retrograde strategy, and (3) MACE (PROGRESS-CTO MACE, c-statistic 0.74): age ≥65 years, female gender, moderate/severe calcification, blunt/no stump, anterograde dissection and re-entry (ADR) or retrograde strategy. (4) All-cause mortality (PROGRESS-CTO mortality, c-statistic 0.80): age ≥65, moderate/severe calcification, LVEF ≤45%, ADR or retrograde strategy. (5) Perforation requiring pericardiocentesis (PROGRESS-CTO pericardiocentesis, c-statistic 0.78): age ≥65 years, moderate/severe calcification, female gender, ADR or retrograde strategy. (6) Acute myocardial infarction (PROGRESS-CTO acute myocardial infarction, c-statistic 0.72): previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery, atrial fibrillation, blunt/no stump. (7) Perforation requiring any treatment (PROGRESS-CTO perforation, c-statistic 0.74): age ≥65 years, moderate/severe calcification, blunt/no stump, ADR, or retrograde strategy. (8) Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (c-statistic 0.84): age ≥75, LVEF <40%, serum creatinine >1.5 mg/100 ml, serum albumin ≤30, 30<albumin≤40 or >40 g/L. There are 8 CTO PCI periprocedural risk scores that may facilitate risk assessment and procedural planning in patients who underwent CTO PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk stratification before chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is important to inform procedural planning as well as patients and their families. We sought to externally validate the PROGRESS-CTO complication risk scores in the OPEN-CTO registry. METHODS OPEN-CTO is a prospective registry of 1000 consecutive CTO PCIs performed at 12 experienced US centers using the hybrid algorithm. Endpoints of interest were in-hospital all-cause mortality, need for pericardiocentesis, acute myocardial infarction (MI), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (a composite of all-cause mortality, stroke, periprocedural MI, urgent repeat revascularization, and tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis). Model discrimination was assessed with the area under the curve (AUC) method, and calibration with the observed-versus-predicted probability method. RESULTS Mean age was 65.4 ± 10.3 year, and 36.5% of patients had prior coronary artery bypass graft. Overall, 41 patients (4.1%) suffered MACE, 9 (0.9%) mortality, 26 (2.6%) acute MI, and 11 (1.1%) required pericardiocentesis. Technical success was achieved in 86.3%. Patients who experienced MACE had higher anatomic complexity, and more often required antegrade dissection/reentry and the retrograde approach. Increasing PROGRESS-CTO MACE scores were associated with increasing MACE rates: 0.5% (score 0-1), 2.4% (score 2), 3.7% (score 3), 4.5% (score 4), 7.8% (score 5), 13.0% (score 6-7). The AUC were as follows: MACE 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.66-0.78), mortality 0.79 (95% CI: 0.66-0.95), pericardiocentesis 0.71 (95% CI: 0.60-0.82), and acute MI 0.57 (95% CI: 0.49-0.66). Calibration was adequate for MACE and mortality, while the models underestimated the risk of pericardiocentesis and acute MI. CONCLUSIONS In a large external cohort of patients treated with the hybrid algorithm by experienced CTO operators, the PROGRESS-CTO MACE, mortality, and pericardiocentesis risk scores showed good discrimination, while the acute MI score had inferior performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is scarce data on the outcomes of the Carlino technique for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to investigate the indications and outcomes of the Carlino technique as performed in the context of the retrograde approach. METHODS We pooled CTO PCI cases where a retrograde Carlino technique was performed from high-volume operators at four centers. The Carlino technique was characterized according to its indication (achieving plaque/cap modification, clarifying microcatheter location within the vessel, resolving distal cap ambiguity) and was considered successful when it led to the desired outcome. RESULTS A total of 43 patients were included. Occlusion complexity was very high (mean J-CTO score 3.3 ± 0.8). The two most common indications were understanding the anatomy of the occlusion and clarifying gear location (37.2%) and impenetrable distal cap (34.9%). The Carlino technique was successful in 88.4% of cases. Overall technical and procedural success was 86.0%. The most common successful crossing technique was reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde subintimal tracking (70.3%). No complications were attributed to the Carlino technique. CONCLUSIONS We observed a high success rate of the retrograde Carlino technique, as well as overall technical and procedural success rates. No Carlino technique-related complications were observed. Additional data from larger registries are warranted to further confirm the safety and efficacy of this technique.

Abstract
Coronary artery perforation is one of the most common and feared complications of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We evaluated the utility of the recently presented OPEN-CLEAN (Coronary artery bypass graft, Length of occlusion, Ejection fraction, Age, calcificatioN) perforation score in an independent multicenter CTO PCI dataset. Of the 2,270 patients who underwent CTO PCI at 7 centers, 150 (6.6%) suffered coronary artery perforation. Patients with perforations were older (69 ± 10 vs 65 ± 10, p <0.001), more likely to be women (89% vs 82%, p = 0.010), more likely to have history of previous coronary artery bypass graft (38% vs 20%, p <0.001), and unfavorable angiographic characteristics such as blunt stump (64% vs 42%, p <0.001), proximal cap ambiguity (51% vs 33%, p <0.001), and moderate-severe calcification (57% vs 43%, p = 0.001). Technical success was lower in patients with perforations (69% vs 85%, p <0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the OPEN-CLEAN perforation risk model was 0.74 (95% confidence interval 0.68 to 0.79), with good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow p = 0.72). We found that the CTO PCI perforation risk increased with higher OPEN-CLEAN scores: 3.5% (score 0 to 1), 3.1% (score 2), 5.3% (score 3), 7.1% (score 4), 11.5% (score 5), 19.8% (score 6 to 7). In conclusion, given its good performance and ease of preprocedural calculation, the OPEN-CLEAN perforation score appears to be useful for quantifying the perforation risk for patients who underwent CTO PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery perforation is one of the most feared and common complications of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS To assess the usefulness of the recently developed PROGRESS-CTO (NCT02061436) perforation risk score in independent cohorts. Individual patient-level data pooled analysis of three registries was performed. RESULTS Of the 4566 patients who underwent CTO PCI at 25 centers, 196 (4.2%) had coronary artery perforation. Patients with perforations were older (69 ± 10 vs. 65 ± 10, p < 0.001), more likely to be women (19% vs. 13%, p = 0.009), more likely to have a history of prior coronary artery bypass graft (34% vs. 20%, p < 0.001), and unfavorable angiographic characteristics such as blunt stump (62% vs. 48%, p < 0.001), proximal cap ambiguity (52% vs. 34%, p < 0.001), and moderate-severe calcification (60% vs. 49%, p = 0.002). Technical success was lower in patients with perforations (73% vs. 88%, p < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the PROGRESS-CTO perforation risk model was 0.76 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72-0.79), with good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow p = 0.97). We found that the CTO PCI perforation risk increased with higher PROGRESS-CTO perforation scores: 0.3% (score 0), 2.3% (score 1), 3.1% (score 2), 5.5% (score 3), 7.5% (score 4), 14.6% (score 5). CONCLUSION Given the good discriminative performance, calibration, and the ease of calculation, the PROGRESS-CTO perforation score may facilitate assessment of the risk of perforation in patients undergoing CTO PCI.

Abstract
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is frequently observed after heart transplant (HT), and represents one of the main causes of chronic rejection, graft loss, and death. While the role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is well established in the management of CAV in cases of nonocclusive stenoses, the outcomes and technical aspects of this procedure in chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are unknown. We describe our experience with three cases in which CTO PCI was indicated to treat CAV in HT recipients, and we discuss the peculiarities and therapeutic approach to this challenging patient population. In particular, all patients were asymptomatic for angina, and CTO PCI was indicated to promote recovery of left ventricular function, extend graft survival, and/or protect from future ischemic events. CTO PCI was performed using hybrid techniques and was successful in all three cases. Intravascular imaging was used in all cases to maximize the durability of the procedure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One strategy to improve the effectiveness of intravascular brachytherapy (IVBT) is to study its failures. Previous investigations described mostly discrete, focal recurrences, typically at the proximal or distal edges of the irradiated segment after plain angioplasty or bare metal stents. We reviewed failure patterns of 30 unselected drug-eluting stent (DES) patients who had follow-up angiograms for recurrence within their IVBT-treated vessel. METHODS Records of 53 unselected IVBT patients treated between 2016 and 2021 were reviewed. Thirty of the 53 patients had at least one subsequent percutaneous intervention (PCI) for in-stent restenosis (ISR) after IVBT. Angiographic findings of those 30 patients with ISR within their previously irradiated vessel are reported here. RESULTS Of the 30 patients, 21 (70%) developed recurrent ISR within the irradiated segment. Six of the 21 patients who failed within the irradiated segment also experienced ISR proximal or distal to the irradiated segment. Only 15 patients (50%) failed exclusively within the irradiated segment. In nine patients (30%), restenosis occurred proximally and/or distally to the irradiated segment, but not inside of the irradiated segment itself. CONCLUSIONS We have shown here that 50% of failures after coronary IVBT for DES ISR occur exclusively within the irradiated segment. An additional 20% of patients had failure within and outside of the irradiated segment. These percentages suggest that a higher radiation dose might improve the long-term patency rates, a conclusion that should be tempered by the lack of universal follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease leads to stenosis of the major cardiac vessels, resulting in ischemia and infarction. Percutaneous intervention (PCI) with balloon angioplasty can re-open stenosed vessels. Drug eluting stents (DES) and intravascular brachytherapy (IVBT) and drug-coated balloons (DCBs) are proven to decrease the likelihood of another restenosis after PCI, but neither is completely effective. Due to the limited long-term effectiveness of IVBT or DCB used separately for salvage PCI, we combined the two in some poor prognosis patients. METHODS Combined IVBT+DCB was intended for a total of 36 patients from 2015-2020. PCI with some combination of ballooning, laser and directional/rotational atherectomy was used to maximally open the stenotic region prior to IVBT+DCB. Beta-radiation brachytherapy for all patients was done with a Novoste Beta-Cath. Lutonix 4.0 x 40 mm paclitaxel-coated balloons (Bard, Murray Hill, NJ) were employed. RESULTS Overall survival at two years was 88%. Nine patients had follow-up angiograms, all for cardiac symptoms. Time from IVBT+DCB to follow-up angiography ranged from 4 to 33 months. The average months PCI-free interval before brachy therapy was 11.1 mos (95% CI 1.03-23.25) versus 23.3 mos after VBT (23.3 95% CI 12.3-32.3). The mean difference was 11.2 mos (95% CI 1.06-21.4, p < 0.031). None of the follow-up angiographic procedures displayed evidence of what could be interpreted as radiation damage. CONCLUSIONS In this uncontrolled series, IVBT plus DCB appeared to lengthen the ISR-free interval relative to what had been achieved prior to the combined intervention. We view these results as mildly encouraging, worthy of further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interventional cardiologists receive feedback on their clinical care from a variety of sources including registry-based quality measures, case conferences, and informal peer interactions. However, the impact of this feedback on clinical care is unclear. METHODS We interviewed interventional cardiologists regarding the use of feedback to improve their care of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients. Interviews were assessed with template analysis using deductive and inductive techniques. RESULTS Among 20 interventional cardiologists from private, academic, and Department of Veterans Affairs practice, 85% were male, 75% performed at least 100 PCIs annually, and 55% were in practice for 5 years or more. All reported receiving feedback on their practice, including formal quality measures and peer learning activities. Many respondents were critical of quality measure reporting, citing lack of trust in outcomes measures and poor applicability to clinical care. Some respondents reported the use of process measures such as contrast volume and fluoroscopy time for benchmarking their performance. Case conferences and informal peer feedback were perceived as timelier and more impactful on clinical care. Respondents identified facilitators of successful feedback interventions including transparent processes, respectful and reciprocal peer relationships, and integration of feedback into collective goals. Hierarchy and competitive environments inhibited useful feedback. CONCLUSIONS Despite substantial resources dedicated to performance measurement and feedback for PCI, interventional cardiologists perceive existing quality measures to be of only modest value for improving clinical care. Catherization laboratories should seek to integrate quality measures into a holistic quality program that emphasizes peer learning, collective goals and mutual respect.

Abstract
Concerns over radiation exposure are ubiquitous to all interventional cardiologists; however, fear of exposure during childbearing years disproportionately deters women from entering the field. This review summarizes the available data on occupational radiation exposure during pregnancy with an emphasis on radiation quantification, the impact of exposure at various stages of fetal development, societal recommendations for safe levels of exposure during gestation, threshold levels necessary to induce fetal harm, and safe practices for the pregnant interventionalist. Reconciling the available information, we conclude that pregnancy in the cardiac catheterization laboratory is both safe and feasible. This review also highlights new technologies that may augment standard radiation safety techniques and are of particular interest to the pregnant interventional cardiologist. Finally, we propose steps to improve female representation in this field, underscoring the importance of a sex-balanced workforce.

Abstract
Velocity of capillary flow in closed or open channels decreases as the flow proceeds down the length of the channel, varying as the inverse of the square root of time or as the inverse of travel distance. In order to increase the flow rate-and extend the duration of the flow-capillary pumps have been designed by mimicking the pumping principle of paper or cotton fibers. These designs provide a larger volume available for the wicking of the liquids. In microsystems for biotechnology, different designs have been developed based on experimental observation. In the present paper, the mechanisms at the basis of capillary pumping are investigated using a theoretical model for the flow in an open-channel "capillary tree" (i.e., an ensemble of channels with bifurcations mimicking the shape of a tree). The model is checked against experiments. Rules for obtaining better designs of capillary pumps are proposed; specifically, we find (1) when using a capillary tree with identical channel cross-sectional areas throughout, it is possible to maintain nearly constant flow rates throughout the channel network, (2) flow rate can be increased at each branch point of a capillary tree by slightly decreasing the areas of the channel cross section and decreasing the channel lengths at each level of ramification within the tree, and (3) higher order branching (trifurcations vs bifurcations) amplify the flow rate effect. This work lays the foundation for increasing the flow rate in open microfluidic channels driven by capillary flow; we expect this to have broad impact across open microfluidics for biological and chemical applications such as cell culture, sample preparation, separations, and on-chip reactions.

Abstract
Advances in transcatheter structural heart interventions and temporary mechanical circulatory support have led to increased demand for alternative sites for large-bore vascular access. Percutaneous axillary artery access is an appealing alternative to femoral access in patients with peripheral arterial disease, obesity or for prolonged haemodynamic support where patient mobilisation may be valuable. In particular, axillary access for mechanical circulatory support allows for increased mobility while using the device, facilitating physical therapy and reducing morbidity associated with prolonged bed rest. This article outlines the basic approach to percutaneous axillary vascular access, including patient selection and procedure planning, anatomic axillary artery landmarks, access techniques, sheath removal and management of complications.

Abstract
Complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may have significant impact on patient survival and healthcare costs. PCI procedural complexity and patient risk are increasing, and operators must be prepared to recognize and treat complications, such as perforations, dissections, hemodynamic collapse, no-reflow, and entrapped equipment. Unfortunately, few resources exist to train operators in PCI complication management. Uncertainty regarding complication management could contribute to the undertreatment of patients with high-complexity coronary disease. We, therefore, coordinated the Learning From Complications: How to Be a Better Interventionalist courses to disseminate the collective experience of high-volume PCI operators with extensive experience in chronic total occlusion and high-risk PCI. From these conferences in 2018 and 2019, we developed algorithms that emphasize early recognition, effective treatment, and team-based care of PCI complications. We think that an algorithmic approach will result in a logical and systematic response to life-threatening complications. This construct may be useful for operators who plan to perform complex PCI procedures.

Abstract
Background Patient selection and outcomes for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have changed over the past decade. However, there is limited information on outcomes for both revascularization strategies in the same population. The study evaluated temporal changes in risk profile, procedural characteristics, and clinical outcomes for PCI‐ and CABG‐treated patients. Methods and Results We analyzed all PCI and isolated CABG between 2005 and 2017 in nonfederal hospitals in Washington State. Descriptive analysis was performed to evaluate temporal changes in risk profile and, risk‐adjusted in‐hospital mortality. Over the study period, 178 474 PCI and 36 592 CABG procedures were performed. PCI and CABG volume decreased by 2.9% and 22.6%, respectively. Compared with 2005–2009, patients receiving either form of revascularization between 2014 and 2017 had a higher prevalence of comorbidities including diabetes mellitus and hypertension and dialysis. Presentation with ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (17% versus 20%) and cardiogenic shock (2.4% versus 3.4%) increased for patients with PCI compared with CABG. Conversely, clinical acuity decreased for patients receiving CABG over the study period. From 2005 to 2017, mean National Cardiovascular Data Registry CathPCI mortality score increased for patients treated with PCI (20.1 versus 22.4, P<0.0001) and decreased for patients treated with CABG (18.8 versus 17.8, P<0.0001). Adjusted observed/expected in‐hospital mortality ratio increased for PCI (0.98 versus 1.19, P<0.0001) but decreased for CABG (1.21 versus 0.74, P<0.0001) over the study period. Conclusions Clinical acuity increased for patients treated with PCI rather than CABG. This resulted in an increase in adjusted observed/expected mortality ratio for patients undergoing PCI and a decrease for CABG. These shifts may reflect an increased use of PCI instead of CABG for patients considered to be at high surgical risk.

Abstract
Aims Despite advances in coronary reperfusion and percutaneous mechanical circulatory support, mortality among patients presenting with cardiogenic shock (CS) remains unacceptably high. Clinical trials and risk stratification tools have largely focused on acute CS, particularly secondary to acute coronary syndrome. Considerably less is understood about CS in the setting of acute decompensation in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). We sought to compare outcomes between patients with acute CS and patients with acute on chronic decompensated HF presenting with laboratory and haemodynamic features consistent with CS. Methods and results Sequential patients admitted with CS at a single quaternary centre between January 2014 and August 2017 were identified. Acute on chronic CS was defined by having a prior diagnosis of HF. Initial haemodynamic and laboratory data were collected for analysis. The primary outcome was in‐hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were use of temporary mechanical circulatory support, durable ventricular assist device implantation, total artificial heart implantation, or heart transplantation. Comparison of continuous variables was performed using Student's t‐test. For categorical variables, the χ2 statistic was used. A total of 235 patients were identified: 51 patients (32.8%) had acute CS, and 184 patients (64.3%) had acute decompensation of chronic HF with no differences in age (52 ± 22 vs. 55 ± 14 years, P = 0.28) or gender (26% vs. 23%, P = 0.75) between the two groups. Patients with acute CS were more likely to suffer in‐hospital death (31.4% vs. 9.8%, P < 0.01) despite higher usage of temporary mechanical circulatory support (52% vs. 25%, P < 0.01) compared with patients presenting with acute on chronic HF. The only clinically significant haemodynamic differences at admission were a higher heart rate (101 ± 29 vs. 82 ± 17 b.p.m., P < 0.01) and wider pulse pressure (34 ± 19 vs. 29 ± 10 mmHg, P < 0.01) in the acute CS group. There were no significant differences in degree of shock based on commonly used CS parameters including mean arterial pressure (72 ± 12 vs. 74 ± 10 mmHg, P = 0.23), cardiac output (3.9 ± 1.2 vs. 3.8 ± 1.2 L/min, P = 0.70), or cardiac power index (0.32 ± 0.09 vs. 0.30 ± 0.09 W/m2, P = 0.24) between the two groups. Conclusions Current definitions and risk stratification models for CS based on clinical trials performed in the setting of acute coronary syndrome may not accurately reflect CS in patients with acute on chronic HF. Further investigation into CS in patients with acute on chronic HF is warranted.

Abstract
This article highlights the advantages and disadvantages of transradial arterial (TRA) access for a variety of presentations including acute coronary syndromes; cardiogenic shock; unprotected left main, heavily calcified coronaries; bifurcations; and chronic total occlusions. It includes techniques for overcoming challenges of using TRA access, including spasm and the need for larger bore guides. In addition, the authors review the use of ultrasound for access, percutaneous hemodynamic support via axillary approach, and tips and tricks to performing right heart catheterizations from the antecubital vein.

Abstract
ᅟ: Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are an important and increasingly recognized subgroup of coronary lesions, documented in at least 30%, but up to 52% of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing coronary angiography. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of these lesions is increasingly pursued, with excellent success rates. PURPOSE OF REVIEW: It is known that gender differences exist in the presentation of CAD, as well as in clinical outcomes after routine PCI; however, it is not well described how these differences pertain to management of CTOs. This review summarizes the available data regarding sex-based differences in CTO management and outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS: Women comprise approximately 20% of CTO registry and trial participants. As has been demonstrated in PCI studies, women comprise a minority of patients in CTO PCI registries and trials. Sex-based differences exist in complication rates, collateral formation, and outcomes and need further evaluation in future studies.
