Tip detection-antegrade dissection and re-entry (TD-ADR) with integrated fluoroscopic and intravascular ultrasound images in chronic total occlusion: first case report of integrated TD-ADR technique
The integrated TD-ADR technique merges fluoroscopic and IVUS images, allowing operators to torque the guidewire in the same direction on both images. This approach might be more user-friendly than the original technique and has the potential to enhance the success rate of PCI in complex CTO cases. However, further investigations are warranted to address the clinical feasibility and applicability of this technique.
