Case Sharing: A Case of Successful Crossing of a Calcified Lesion using 3D Wiring in CTO-PCI

Case Sharing: A Case of Successful Crossing of a Calcified Lesion using 3D Wiring in CTO-PCI

Dr. Atsunori Okamura, Sakurabashi Watanabe Hospital

Background

Since the introduction  of PCI in 1977, 2D wire manipulation of coronary arteries, which are 3D structures, has been continuously performed.

Even today, the method of manipulating the wire-tip load in a stepwise fashion has become the standard and has not progressed out of the realm of mastery.

About 10 years ago, we established the 3D wiring method, in which a 3D wire is manipulated in a 3D coronary artery in all PCI procedures including CTO-PCI, to accurately capture the target from 140 cm away.
