Challenging Aorto-Coronary Occlusion: Which Solution?

12/27/2018

Giovanni Lorenzoni, MD; Pierluigi Merella, MD; Gavino Casu, MD

Giovanni Lorenzoni, MD; Pierluigi Me...

Aorto-coronary occlusion is a particularly difficult lesion to treat, especially in an emergent setting. To our knowledge, this is the first description of the use of a microcatheter not to support the guidewire, but to open an aorto-coronary...

Aorto-coronary occlusion is a...
