Current technical and clinical features of the antegrade and retrograde approaches to percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion – 2013 version

PCI for the treatment of CTO has made remarkable progress in recent years, and interventional cardiologists in Japan have made a great contribution to this progress. Innovative techniques, including the retrograde approach, are hot topics in the CTO field. The long-term prognosis after initial succe...

Innovative techniques, including the retrograde approach, are hot topics in the CTO field. The long-term prognosis after initial success is also attracting considerable attention.
