Primary vs Secondary Retrograde Approach in Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

We compared the outcomes of traditional rCART vs guide-catheter extension rCART vs cases in which both techniques were used (combined rCART) in patients with successful retrograde CTO crossing in a contemporary multicenter CTO-PCI registry.

We compared the outcomes of...
