“…Es importante realizar una adecuada evaluación de las OTC en cuanto a las características angiográficas, lo que posibilita especificar el material más efectivo para enfrentar estas lesiones. Se han publicado estudios que muestran factores predictivos de éxito, como el largo de la lesión, presencia de bridging o experiencia del operador 4 , pero no se han aunado estos criterios en una clasificación para score predictivo. En este sentido el score elaborado en nuestro Laboratorio nos ha resultado de gran utilidad para predecir el éxito del procedimiento, realizar una adecuada programación del tiempo y elegir adecuadamente guías y balones que se van a utilizar.…”

“…Very long duration of CTO in this case (>10 years) may be the reason of failed moderate back up support using microcatheter technique. Other unfavorable characteristics that predicted failure of conventional guide wire advancement in this case include long lesion length (>15 mm) [11,12] and the presence of bridging collaterals [13]. Alternative approaches for CTO revascularization have focused recently on specific devices using highly sophisticated technology such as laser guide wire [14], optical coherence reflectometry [15], blunt microdissection catheter (Frontrunner) [16], and deflectable tip catheter (Venture catheter) [17].…”
