One of the reasons for the failure is the hard of the CTO lesions that balloon is difficult to pass through or expand. Previous methods to deal with CTO lesions that cannot be passed by balloon, include selecting reinforced catheter (such as 5 in 6 guiding catheter, Guidzilla catheter, or Tornus microcatheter), guidewire extrusion or rotary grinding technology. In recent years, excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) has been gradually applied to CTO lesions. Using inert halide as the laser medium, ELCA emits a 308 nm high-intensity unidirectional light wave with absorption depth of only 50 μmL, resulting in less thermal effect and less damage to non-target lesions. In this paper, we will describe a successful PCI case of an in-stent CTO lesion using ELCA with long term coronary angiography follow-up.展开更多

All were males, the average age being 59.7 years. Five patients had sustained previous myocardial infarctions with post-infarction angina in 2 cases and 6 presented angina only. Coronary angiograms showed stenosis in LAD (N9), LCX(N6) and RCA (N6). According to the ACC/AHA classification, 6 were categorized as type B, and 5 type C. ELCA with adjunctive PTCA were performed in all 8 patients, 1. 3 mm (energy density 14. 5 mJ) and 1.6 mm (energy density 21.0 mJ) laser catheters with 20Hz pulse frequency were used There was one failure and in another ELCA was successful but death followed the procedure. The overall result was laser success 10 out of the 11 cases and procedure success 9.展开更多
