Clinical Experience of a Novel Optical Coherence Tomography-Guided Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion Re-Entry Device.

ABSTRACT: We demonstrated a first-in-human case of successful antegrade dissection and re-entry using an image-guided re-entry catheter that enables real-time high-resolution visualization with graphical augmentation, and precision steering and advancement of a guidewire. The total time from over-the-wire deployment in the proximity of the distal cap to successful re-entry was <20 minutes. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
