Key result
Bridge or Rendezvous retrograde CTO wiring linked to reduced time, costs, and complications.
Why the study?
Different strategies of retrograde approach were introduced recently to improve the success rate of PCI for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO).
The 'Bridge or Rendezvous method' is introduced as a novel retrograde wiring technique for CTO PCI that aims to save time, reduce costs, and lower complication rates.
To improve the success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO), different strategies of retrograde approach were introduced in recent years. The aim of this report is to describe a new retrograde wiring technique for CTO, the "Bridge or Rendezvous method." This new technique saves time, reduces cost, as well as reduces procedure-related complications.
