Introduction of novel intravascular ultrasound preceding with angled guiding catheter (I-PAD) technique to treat chronic total occlusions in peripheral artery disease
Abstract Background The optimal endovascular treatment (EVT) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) has remained unestablished.We encountered a patient with PAD in whom CTO was successfully treated using a novel technique that involved intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and angled guiding catheter: I
