Abstract
BACKGROUND The J-chronic total occlusion (CTO) channel score can predict guidewire tracking of the collateral channels (CCs), but its efficacy in predicting microcatheter tracking has never been tested in the setting of retrograde CTO-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). AIMS Predicting microcatheter collateral tracking during retrograde CTO-PCIs. METHODS A total of 189 patients undergoing retrograde CTO-PCI from April 2017 to August 2021 were screened. The primary outcome of interest was a correlation between J-CTO channel score and microcatheter tracking failure (MTF) after successful CC tracking by the guidewire. The independent association between anatomical features of the J-CTO channel score and the primary outcome of interest was explored. RESULTS After adjustment, only small size (adjusted OR: 12.70, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.79-89.82; p = 0.01) and continuous bends (adjusted OR: 14.15, 95% CI: 2.77-72.34; p < 0.001) remained significantly associated with an increased risk of MTF for septal collaterals. The small size was the only predictor of the MTF for epicardial collaterals (OR: 6.39, 95% CI: 1.13-35.96; p = 0.020) at univariate analysis. Patients in the MTF group had a lower incidence of procedural success compared with patients in the microcatheter tracking success (MTS) group (40.0% vs. 93.9%, p < 0.001) and had a higher incidence of collateral perforations (20.0% vs. 3.0%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Small and tortuous septal collaterals, identified by a score ≥3, are associated with an increased risk of MTF, lower incidence of procedural success, and higher risk of procedural complications driven by collateral perforations.

Abstract
The use of coils is fundamental in interventional cardiology and can be lifesaving in selected settings. Coils are classified by their materials into bare metal, fiber coated, and hydrogel coated, or by the deliverability method into, pushable or detachable coils. Coils are delivered through microcatheters and the choice of coil size is important to ensure compatibility with the inner diameter of the delivery catheter, firstly to be able to deliver and secondly to prevent the coil from being stuck and damaged. Clinically, coils are used in either acute or in elective setting. The most important acute indication is typically the sealing coronary perforation. In the elective settings, coils can be used for the treatment of certain congenital cardiac abnormalities, aneurysms, fistulas or in the treatment of arterial side branch steal syndrome after CABG. Coils must always be delivered under fluoroscopy guidance. There are some associated complications with coils that can be acute or chronic, that nictitates regular followed-up. There is a need for education, training and regular workshops with hands-on to build the experience to use coils in situations that are infrequently encountered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for calcified coronary artery remains challenging in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era. While recent studies reported the efficacy of orbital atherectomy (OA) combined with DES for calcified lesion, the effectiveness of drug-coated balloon (DCB) following OA has not been fully elucidated. METHODS Between June 2018 and June 2021, 135 patients who received PCI for calcified de novo coronary lesions with OA were enrolled and divided into two groups; OA followed by DCB (n = 43) if the target lesion achieved acceptable preparation, or second- or third-generation DESs (n = 92) if the target lesion showed suboptimal preparation between June 2018 and June 2021. All patients underwent PCI with optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. The primary endpoint was 1-year major adverse cardiac event (MACE), that was a composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularization. RESULTS Mean age was 73 years and 82% was male. In OCT analysis, maximum calcium plaque was thicker (median: 1050 µm [interquartile range (IQR): 945-1175 µm] vs. 960 µm [808-1100 µm], p = 0.017), calcification arc tended to larger (median: 265° [IQR: 209-360°] vs. 222° [162-305°], p = 0.058) in patients with DCB than in DES, and the postprocedure minimum lumen area was smaller in DCB compared with minimum stent area in DES (median: 3.83 mm2 [IQR: 3.30-4.52 mm2 ] vs. 4.86 mm2 [4.05-5.82 mm2 ], p < 0.001). However, 1 year MACE free rate was not significantly different between 2 groups (90.3% in DCB vs. 96.6% in DES, log-rank p = 0.136). In the subgroup analysis of 14 patients who underwent follow-up OCT imaging, late lumen area loss was lower in patients with DCB than DES, despite lower lesion expansion rate in DCB than DES. CONCLUSIONS In calcified coronary artery disease, DCB alone strategy (if acceptable lesion preparation was performed with OA) was feasible compared with DES following OA with respect to 1-year clinical outcomes. Our finding indicated using DCB with OA might be reduce late lumen area loss for severe calcified lesion.

Abstract
Key Points
Historically percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of severely calcified lesions is associated with high rate of periprocedural complications and poor long‐term outcomes.
Available data from controlled prospective registries reported promising safety and efficacy results of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) but were limited to restricted inclusion criteria.
This multicenter IVL registry in all‐comer patients including very long lesions, S‐T segment elevation myoìcardial infarction, chronic total occlsusion and left main PCI confirmed high procedural success, low rate of periprocedural complications and good long‐term outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The minimalistic hybrid approach (MHA) is an algorithm to perform chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The current study aims to evaluate the distribution of patients among the five different treatment strategies, the different techniques used in each strategy, the overall procedural success, and the safety of the MHA algorithm. METHODS Data from a consecutive series of patients with a CTO who underwent elective PCI between February 2019 and July 2021 were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS One hundred and forty-three CTOPCI in 135 patients were approached according to the MHA algorithm: 134 CTO (93.7%) were successfully recanalized and 9 procedures failed. About half of the procedures (48.3%) were approached using strategy A: antegrade "blind wiring" with contralateral retrograde options, making this the most popular strategy. A total of 89 procedures (62.2%) were completed with a single guiding catheter; in 86 (96.6%) a forearm approach was used. The remaining 54 cases were performed with dual access; in the majority of these patients (90.7%), a bilateral forearm approach was used. The only reason to use the femoral access was inadequate forearm access. One hundred and fifty-four out of 197 (78.2%) access sites were 6 French sheaths. CONCLUSION MHA is a stepwise approach focused on the forearm approach to reduce the number of access sites and catheter size used in CTOPCI while maintaining proficiency and safety. Operators should be warned that this approach should be adopted only by experienced CTO operators who master all the strategies of the classic hybrid algorithm and the forearm approach.

Abstract
AIM The impact of Grade III coronary perforations (G3-CP) in the setting of CTO-PCI is not well assessed. METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed 7773 CTO-PCI and 98,819 non CTO-PCI performed in 10 European centers: G3 perforation occurred in 87 patients (1.1%) during CTO PCI and 224 patients (0.22%) during non CTO-PCI (p < 0.001). G3-CP involved the CTO segment in 68% of patients and the retrograde channels in 14% of cases. In the CTO PCI group, wire induced G3-CP (50.5% vs. 32.5%, p = 0.02) occurred predominantly when dedicated CTO tapered and highly penetrative wires were used. Intra-procedural and in-hospital death rates were 4.6% vs. 5.8% and 3.6% vs. 7.5% respectively for CTO PCI and non-CTO PCI groups (p = NS). At a median follow up of 24 months, the overall mortality and MAE were respectively 7.8% and MAE 19% without difference among groups. CONCLUSIONS We showed similar in-hospital and long-term outcomes when G3 perforations occurred during CTO PCI and non CTO-PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is common and associated with low survival rates. Guidelines propose a fast work-up after OHCA including coronary angiography (CA) but little is known about the actual outcome of those patients who undergo immediate CA after OHCA with suspected cardiac origin. AIM The aim of this retrospective single-center study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes and predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients who underwent immediate CA after OHCA with suspected cardiac origin. METHODS We included all consecutive patients with OHCA who underwent immediate CA between January 2011 and December 2015. We defined immediate CA after OHCA as angiography within 2 hr after admission. RESULTS Two hundred and nineteen consecutive patients with OHCA were included. Fifty six patients (26%) underwent CA without previous return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and with ongoing CPR using the LUCAS-device. One hundred and forty nine patients (67%) died in hospital. Of the 56 patients with CA with ongoing CPR, 55 died and only 1 patient survived to hospital discharge. In a multivariate analysis, older age (OR = 2.03, 95%CI 1.35-3.03; p = .001), initial shockable rhythm (OR = 0.28, 95%CI 0.07-1.13; p = .076), CA with ongoing CPR (OR = 11.63, 95%CI 1.20-122.55; p = .035), and initial arterial pH (OR = 0.008, 95%CI 0.00-0.228; p < .005) remained as independent predictors for in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS In this study older age, metabolic derangement on admission, initial nonshockable rhythm and failure to achieve ROSC before admission predicted in-hospital mortality. While CA with ongoing CPR with the LUCAS-device was feasible, mortality in patients without previous ROSC was extremely high, questioning whether this approach is medically useful.

Abstract
Antegrade dissection reentry with Stingray device (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA) accounts for 20–34% of the chronic total occlusion (CTO) cases in the various hybrid operators' CTO registries and is an important component of CTO crossing algorithms. The Stingray device can facilitate antegrade dissection and reentry, however its use is low outside North America and Europe. The Asia Pacific CTO Club along with three experience Stingray operators from the US, Europe and India, created an algorithm guiding use of the CrossBoss and Stingray catheter. This APCTO Stingray algorithm defines when to use the CrossBoss and Stingray device recommending a reduction in CrossBoss use except for in‐stent restenosis lesions and immediate transition from knuckle wiring to the Stingray device. When antegrade wiring fails, choice of Stingray‐facilitated reentry versus parallel wiring depends on operator experience, device availability, cost concerns, and anatomical factors. When the antegrade wire enters the subintimal space, we recommend using a rotational microcatheter to produce a channel and deliver the Stingray balloon—so called the “bougie technique.” We recommend early switch to Stingray rather than persisting with single wire redirection or parallel wire. We recommend choosing a suitable reentry zone based on preprocedural computer tomography or angiogram, routine use of stick and swap, routine use of Subintimal TRAnscatheter Withdrawal (STRAW) through the Stingray balloon, and the multi stick and swap technique. We believe these techniques and algorithm can facilitate incorporation of the Stingray balloon into the practice of CTO interventionists globally.

Abstract
A 54-year-old woman with no prior coronary artery disease or cardiac risk factors was diagnosed with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) after presenting with an acute coronary syndrome. Over the next 5 years, she experienced four more episodes of SCAD, involving different coronary artery distributions, with evidence of complete angiographic healing following conservative management with antiplatelet therapy and beta-blockade.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drug-eluting stents (DES) compared to bare-metal stents (BMS) for patients with large coronary vessels. BACKGROUND Randomized trials have demonstrated that DES reduce the risk of target vessel revascularization (TVR) compared to BMS. This benefit is less pronounced as artery diameter increases. Whether DES are superior to BMS for larger coronary arteries in the setting of routine clinical practice is unknown. METHODS We analyzed data from 869 patients undergoing de novo lesion PCI with reference vessel diameter greater than or equal to 3.5 mm in the NHLBI Dynamic Registry according to whether they were treated with DES or BMS. Patients were followed for 3 years for the occurrence of cardiovascular events. RESULTS At 3-year follow-up, rates of TVR at 3 years were similar and low in both groups (4.4% vs. 3.7%, P = 0.62). After adjustment for differences in baseline characteristics, the adjusted hazard ratio for 3-year MI for DES was 1.85 (95% CI 0.93-3.7, P = 0.08), for TVR at 3 years 1.14 (95% CI 0.52-2.49, P = 0.75) and for mortality 0.89 (95%CI 0.49-1.62, P = 0.71). CONCLUSIONS In our study of the unrestricted use of DES for patients with lesions in larger diameter coronary arteries, first generation DES did not reduce 3-year risk of TVR. Our findings do not support the preferred use of DES over BMS for patients with lesions located in arteries >3.5 mm. It is unknown whether secondary generation DES can offer better outcome compared to BMS in large coronary vessels. Further study on this issue is warranted.
