Review of Common & Uncommon CTO Complications General Guidelines Never undertake “drive-by” CTO PCI Careful evaluation of the angio (30-40 min) Always use double guide injections One-dimensional operator not acceptable Skills in antegrade, dissection/re-entry, retrograde Discuss with colleagues
2/10/16 51-Year-Old Female CTO of RCA Factor V Leiden Deficiency on Long-term Coumadin Therapy
51-Year-Old Female – CTO of RCA Factor V Leiden Deficiency on Long-term Coumadin Therapy Critique Set up initial freeze frame as road map No repeat injections IVUS guidance is mandatory With aortic root dissection, always stent across the ostium Consider visualizing the LMCA Surgical intervention almost never necessary
2/11/16 51-Year-Old Female CTO of RCA Factor V Leiden Deficiency on Long-term Coumadin Therapy
51-Year-Old Female – CTO of RCA Factor V Leiden Deficiency on Long-term Coumadin Therapy Post intervention: Large, retroperitoneal bleed ASA, Plavix and Coumadin withheld Developed severe retrosternal chest pain Taken back to cath lab at outside facility for repeat angiography
2/14/16 51-Year-Old Female CTO of RCA Factor V Leiden Deficiency on Long-term Coumadin Therapy
51-Year-Old Female – CTO of RCA Factor V Leiden Deficiency on Long-term Coumadin Therapy Careful consideration of the timing for staged procedures Avoid staged procedures from the same entry site If possible, avoid triple therapy
Radiation Dermatitis
16-21 weeks depigmentation and atrophy 30 days 16-21 weeks depigmentation and atrophy 3-6 months ulceration
Prevention of Radiation Dermatitis Alert to staged procedures Knowledge of previous fluoro times Physician alerts at 2 Gy intervals >5 Gy skin dose Patient education regarding radiation exposure Skin monitoring and skin care Documentation of patient Notification to PCP > 10 Gy or > 50 min fluoro time Consider aborting the procedure >15 Gy is “Sentinel Event” reported to Dept of Health
OPEN CTO Trial Overall Complications (N=1000 patients) MACCE 70 (7.0%) Death 9 (0.9%) MI 26 (2.6%) Stroke 0 (0.0%) Emergent surgery 7 (0.7%) Clinical perforation (Treated) 48 (4.8%) Perforations (all) 88 (8.8%) Ellis grade 1 11 (12.5%) Ellis grade 2 44 (50.0%) Ellis grade 3 28 (31.8%) Ellis grade 3 cavity spilling 5 (5.7%) Perforation Location CTO Vessel 75 (85%) Non CTO vessel 3 (3.4%) Collateral 8 (9.1%) Septal 3 (37.5%) Epicardial 5 (62.5%) Barry this is the complications table from the OPEN CTO paper currently in review. Use whatever you need, just site as unpublished data from OPEN CTO. These numbers are different than earlier reported numbers. These are from the core lab and after events adjudication. We saw a significant number of perforations that were clinically insignificant and not reported by the investigators. (save that information for Q/A if it comes up).

63-yo Male CTO of RCA
Management of Coronary Perforation DO NOT PANIC! Prolonged balloon inflation (do not remove balloon) Reverse heparin: DC Angiomax (do not use in CTO’s) Echocardiogram – pericardiocentesis (remember echo later if suspicion of perforation) Access other femoral artery (ping-pong guides) Alert cardiac surgery team Punishment should fit the crime – most guidewire perforations are minor events, but this is a MAJOR event
Management of Coronary Perforation Thrombus injection Adipose tissue injection Gel foam Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) AngioDynamics™ Thrombin injection Coils: Cook: Hilal-Embolization MicroCoil™ (2mm); Boston Scientific: VortX™ Diamond-18 (3x3.3mm) Boston Scientific: Renegade™ Delivery Catheter (Tip 2.5 Fr) Covered Stent (JoStent) Diameter 3.0-5.0 Length 12-26
