Differences in patients and lesion and procedure characteristics depending on the age of the coronary chronic total occlusion
2018
Introduction: Whether duration of chronic total occlusion (CTO) affects lesion and procedural characteristics remains largely unknown. Aim: To investigate whether CTO duration influences lesion characteristics and revascularization success. Material and methods: EuroCTO Registry data on patients who had CTO percutaneous coronary intervention between January 2015 and April 2017 were analyzed. Three groups were created based on occlusion age: 3 to 6 months (n = 1415), 7 to 12 months (n = 973), > 12 months (n = 1656). Results: Patients with greater CTO duration were older (63.0 (56.0–70.0); 63.0 (56.0–71.0); 66.0 (59.0–73.0) years respectively; p < 0.001), had more 3-vessel disease (32.2…

Dual lumen microcatheters for recanalisation of chronic total occlusions: A EuroCTO Club expert panel report
2021
Dual lumen microcatheters (DLMC) have become indispensable tools in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO). Other than allowing preservation and treatment of bifurcated coronary branches within or in the proximity of the CTO-body, they enable the use of modified parallel wiring, antegrade dissection and re-entry, collateral selection and retrograde negotiation of the distal CTO-cap. This Euro-CTO consensus document describes current DLMCs and suggests a practical guide to anatomies and techniques in which these devices are applicable.

Rationale, design, and baseline characteristics in Evaluation of LIXisenatide in Acute Coronary Syndrome, a long-term cardiovascular end point trial …
2015
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Furthermore, patients with T2DM and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have a particularly high risk of CV events. The glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, lixisenatide, improves glycemia, but its effects on CV events have not been thoroughly evaluated.METHODS: ELIXA (www.clinicaltrials.gov no. NCT01147250) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study of lixisenatide in patients with T2DM and a recent ACS event. The primary aim is to evaluate the effects of lixisenatide on CV morbidity and mortality in a population …
