Abstract: Background. Although several types of distal embolic protection devices have been developed, they are usually difficult to use because of their stiff and bulky characteristics. We present a novel method to deliver the coronary...

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) represents 10–20% of all angioplasty cases and remains a challenge for interventional cardiologists.1–3 CTOs are associated with significant angina, impaired left ventricular function and poor long-term...

We constructed a three-dimensional (3D) aortocoronary model and conducted an in vitro simulation for PCI planning purposes. Our experience suggests that case-specific 3D models are useful for strategic planning of complex PCIs.

We constructed a...
