Background
Angio-based and tip-detection three-dimensional (3D) wiring methods came to be acknowledged as novel strategies for chronictotal occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but comparison with conventional wire crossing techniques has yet to be made.
Methods
We retrospectively enrolled 126 consecutive CTO PCIcases. Wire-manipulation time was compared between adopted wiring strategies. The rate of successful wire crossing using angio-based and tip-detection 3D wiring techniques was analyzed according to the variables in the complexity scores.
Results
Antegrade wire crossing was successfully accomplished in 99 (78.5%) lesions, including 31 (24.6%) and 34 (26.9%) using angio-based and tip-detection 3D wiring techniques, respectively. Success rate within 30 minutes was significantly higher with the tip-detection 3D wiring technique than with retrograde approach (57.5% vs. 12.8%, odds ratio [OR]: 8.91, 95% CI =2.70-35.4, p < 0.001). Severe calcification (OR: 0.23, 95% CI: 0.07-0.68, p= 0.004) and reattempted cases (OR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.01-0.81, p = 0.01) were predictive of incomplete angio-based 3D wiring crossing. In addition, incomplete tip-detection wire crossing (taking >30 min) was seen in severely tortuous lesions (OR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.03-0.88, p = 0.02).
Conclusion
The tip-detection 3D wiring technique can dramatically reduce the wire-crossing time compared with the retrograde approach. The success rate of the angio-based 3D wiring technique is negatively impacted by calcified lesions and previously failed attempts, and that of the tip-detection 3D wiring technique is hampered by lesion tortuosity.
