Why the study?
Device entrapment during CTO revascularisations is a rare but potentially severe complication.
Provides a review of current percutaneous retrieval techniques for managing device entrapment during CTO PCI to achieve safe procedural success.
May aid management of device entrapment in CTO PCI; leaves open standardization and prospective validation of techniques.
Device entrapment during CTO revascularisations is a rare but potentially severe complication. We describe and discuss current techniques of percutaneous retrieval that can be employed to achieve procedural success safely.
