Clinical Information

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

# ICMP (EF=53%) # STEMI (inf MI) s/p PCI at p to dRCA (Resolute 4.0-34mm + Promus 3.5-38mm 2013.7)  
75/M, he visited OPD, taking no medicine during 15 days, without additional procedure for LAD CTO following RCA STEMI PCI around 10 years ago.

Interventional Management

Procedural Step

1st CAG* Retrograde approach *   Finecross assisted Runthrough -> SUOH03 -> UB3 -> Miracle 12 -> Conquest Pro 12 -> Gaia 3rd next -> Astato 30 failed to pass   * R-CART *   Antegrade : Runthrough with NEON 2.5-15mm upto 6-14 atm & retrograde Finecross assisted Fielder XT-A -> Miracle 12 -> Conquest Pro 12 -> Gaia 3rd next -> Astato 30 -> Fielder XT-A finally passed into LM
  •Randezvous *   Due to relatively short length of retrograde Finecross, antegrade Coquest pro assisted Fielder XT-A successfully passed inside retrograde Finecross in left main vessel   -> Under microcatheter Randezvous, microcatheter failed to advance through antegrade approach (d/t very calcified plaque)   -> Ballooning : Ryurei 1.0-5mm upto 14 atm but failed to pass -> Ikazuchi 1.5-10mm upto 14 atm at but failed to pass     •Snaring *   Through antegrade approach, following RG3 randezvous, it failed to advance more near by RCA catheter -> Snaring RG3 wire outside of RCA vessel RG3 failed to perform due to stucked RG3 wire inside microcatheter   -> Antegrade Turnpike gold also failed to pass   2nd CAG
• balloon mini-crushing 2 stent technique for LM bifurcation *
3rd CAG   * Antegrade preparation *   Finecross asissted Runthrough into pLAD    
* Via retrograde approach into GC (EBU 3.5) & extenalization through calcium neglect strategy *
