To explore an alternative mechanism for recanalization in cases of complete total occlusion.
Examined a patient undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
Utilized deepOCT and NIRS imaging techniques to assess the occlusion.
Documented collateral supply from the left anterior descending artery.
Achieved recanalization of a right coronary artery total occlusion.
Identified significant collateral supply aiding the procedure.
Highlighted the effectiveness of deepOCT and NIRS imaging in such scenarios.
Abstract
A 69-year-old man was referred for percutaneous coronary intervention of a right coronary artery in-stent complete total occlusion, which had collateral supply from the left anterior descending artery.
