Potential Alternative Mechanism of HydroDynamic Contrast Recanalization in Complete Total Occlusion Seen on DeepOCT+NIRS Imaging

Key Points

• 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.
