Utility of IVUS-guided transaccess catheter in the treatment of long chronic total occlusion of the superficial femoral artery

Ivan P Casserly et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2004 Jun.

Abstract

Failure to reenter the true lumen distal to an occlusion is the most frequent cause of failure of the technique of subintimal angioplasty. We report the utility of an IVUS-guided TransAccess catheter in overcoming this problem in the treatment of two patients with long chronic total occlusion of the superficial femoral artery.
