Abstract:
Retrograde recanalization of chronic total occlusion can be challenging for its association with a greater risk of device entrapment and fracture. Aggressive advancement of retrograde guidewire through tortuous collateral may increase the risk of guidewire fracture. Stent jailing technique can sometimes be adopted based on the location, length, and morphology of the fractured guidewire when the patient was clinically stable and percutaneous attempts failed to retrieve. Intravascular ultrasound plays a critical role in assessing the length of the retained guidewire and guiding the final stenting to jail the wire filament into the vessel wall.
