Initial experience and safety in the treatment of chronic total occlusions with fiberoptic guidance technology: Optical coherent reflectometry

Percutaneous treatment of chronic total coronary occlusions has been limited by procedural complications such as vessel injury or perforation. Optimizing visualization in the vessel with optical coherent reflectometry and a forward‐looking fiberoptic guidance technology may improve the safety and ef...

Zusammenfassung:	Percutaneous treatment of chronic total coronary occlusions has been limited by procedural complications such as vessel injury or perforation. Optimizing visualization in the vessel with optical coherent reflectometry and a forward‐looking fiberoptic guidance technology may improve the safety and efficacy of percutaneous treatment of these lesions.
