1.3 Guiding Catheter
To treat an ostial CTO for which an antegrade guiding catheter cannot provide good backup, you should also consider crossing the lesion via the retrograde approach and forming a loop with an RG-3 to consolidate backup (Figs.1.24 and 1.25).

1.4 Anticoagulation Strategy
1.4.1 Administration ofHeparin
Performing PCI for CTO requires prolonged manipulation of guidewires and other devices, which increases the risk of thrombosis. In particular, thrombosis occurring in a ret­rograde channel is often fatal and must be prevented. For complete thromboprophylaxis, it is necessary to ensure that a stable effect of heparin is sustained throughout the PCI procedure. Table 1.3 summarizes the recommended initial dose of heparin. At 5minutes after administering the initial dose of heparin, you should measure the activated coagu­lation time (ACT). If the ACT indicates inadequate antico­agulation by heparin, you should administer an additional dose of heparin as indicated in Table1.4. Measure the ACT every 30minutes thereafter, and, depending on the results, administer an additional dose of heparin to keep the ACT at 300seconds.
Blood for measurement of the ACT is often collected
from the guiding catheter. When collecting blood for this purpose via the guiding catheter, you should take care to prevent contamination with even a small amount of con­trast medium. If the ACT is 400seconds after treatment with the standard dosage of heparin, this undoubtedly rep­resents a measurement error arising from contamination of the blood sample by contrast medium during collection. If the ACT is around 300seconds due to unrecognized con­tamination by contrast medium, the true ACT may be at a level associated with a signicant risk of thrombosis. To completely exclude the risk of contamination by contrast medium, you should take care to optimize handling of the three-way stopcock during blood collection and pay atten­tion to the dead space volume.
If the ACT is not prolonged at 5minutes after the initial
dose of heparin, administer a second dose, and repeat mea­surement of the ACT after another 5minutes. If the ACT is still not prolonged, suspect heparin-induced thrombocytope­nia/thrombosis (HIT/T), and switch heparin to argatroban. With this anticoagulation strategy using doses of heparin modied according to the ACT, no patient undergoing PCI for CTO at our center has developed thrombosis during intervention.
1.4.2 Blood Sample Collection forACT Measurement
If venous access has been obtained with a sheath to provide blood samples for measurement of the ACT, blood collected via this route yields the most precise ACT values. If the sheath is the same size as the guiding catheter, it becomes difcult to collect blood from the side arm of the sheath. Using a sheath that is one size larger than the catheter makes it easier to col­lect blood and obtain precise ACT values. If there is no other route available, it becomes necessary to collect blood samples via the guiding catheter while taking appropriate precautions.
1.4.3 Precautions When Collecting Blood via theGuiding Catheter
If a blood sample is collected from the contrast injection port of a three-port manifold, much blood will need to be discarded rst because of the large dead space. The volume of blood that needs to be discarded to prevent contamination with con­trast medium is sometimes excessively large. At our center, we place a three-way stopcock near a Y-shaped connector and collect blood via the stopcock. When aspirating blood from the three-way stopcock to eliminate the dead space, the syringe should be kept horizontal or angled downward. Even if a large volume of blood is aspirated into a syringe angled upward, contrast medium always remains at the bottom of the three-way stopcock because of its high specic gravity. Take care to completely avoid contamination with contrast medium because this is essential for obtaining precise ACT values.
If the ACT is longer than 400 seconds or is prolonged without administration of additional doses of heparin, you should suspect that contamination with contrast medium has resulted in a falsely high ACT value and should repeat the test with a blood sample collected more carefully to exclude contamination.
If the ACT measured using blood contaminated with con­trast medium is within the target range, the true ACT value will be below the range and will be at a level that is associ­ated with a signicant risk of thrombosis during PCI.It is important to always keep in mind the necessity of completely excluding contrast medium from blood samples collected through a guiding catheter for measurement of the ACT.

1.5.1 Video Imaging Equipment andFluoroscopy Angles
Selection of the correct video imaging equipment and uo­roscopy angles are among the most important considerations when performing PCI for CTO.
1.5.1.1 Is Biplane Imaging Essential?
I think that simultaneous biplane cineangiography of the heart is essential when PCI is performed for CTO, not only for diagnostic imaging but also for uoroscopic guidance during guidewire manipulation.
In order to conrm the passage of a guidewire by mono­plane cineangiography, images need to be obtained in dif­ferent projections. Efforts have been made to reduce the
frequency of imaging with monoplane cineangiography, such as obtaining an image while rotating the detector after locating the patient’s heart precisely at the center of the two projections (isocenter). Despite such efforts, it is impossible to conrm passage of a guidewire until the wire has been advanced for a certain distance. Thus, more frequent imag­ing is needed with monoplane cineangiography to conrm the position of the guidewire after advancing the wire for a short distance.
Simultaneous biplane imaging allows the position and direction of the tip of a guidewire to be checked easily after advancing it for a short distance (Fig. 1.26). In practice, simultaneous biplane imaging is important for PCI because we manipulate guidewires and other devices while check­ing the uoroscopy screen. I strongly recommend setting the biplane imaging equipment in the simultaneous mode since most biplane apparatus can be set this way.

(b) Based on this information, the direction of the guidewire tip was cor­rected leftward in both views, resulting in successful crossing of the CTO through the true lumen

1.5.1.2 Direction oftheLongitudinal Axis oftheTarget Vessel intheRegion ofInterest forGuidewire Advancement
The region of interest (ROI) is dened as the occluded region of the coronary artery from the point at the tip of the guide­wire to a peripheral landmark or the site of a presumed bend (Fig.1.27). When treating a long tortuous CTO such as the lesion shown in Fig.1.28, the position of the ROI changes as the tip of the guidewire is advanced and the direction of the
longitudinal axis of the target vessel in each ROI changes as well. In principle, two projections should be used to con­rm that the guidewire tip is in the true lumen, and the two detector surfaces should desirably be set orthogonal to each other and parallel with the longitudinal axis of the target ves­sel when imaging. This is because obtaining two orthogonal projections minimizes the blind area (Fig.1.29) and provides more accurate visual conrmation that the guidewire tip is in the true lumen (Fig.1.30).

Fig. 1.28 Changes of the ROI while advancing the guidewire. (a)
When treating a long tortuous CTO, the ROI will change as the guide­wire is advanced. The detector surfaces should be set orthogonal to each other and parallel with the longitudinal axis of the target vessel inside the ROI. When treating a long CTO of the RCA extending from Segment #1 to the periphery of Segment #3, you would need to set four different ROIs as shown in this gure until the guidewire reaches the periphery. Appropriate projections for these ROIs are as follows: the AP+CR and LAO+CA projections for ROI 1 (from the ostium of the RCA to the bend in Segment #1); the RAO and LAO projections for ROI 2 (from the middle of Segment #1 to just proximal to the acute margin); the RAO (AP)+CA projection for ROI 3 (from the acute mar­gin to the middle of Segment #3); and the AP+ CR and LAO+ CR
projections (because of the bifurcation) for ROI 4 (from Segment #3 to the peripheral bifurcation of the RCA). (b) PCI was attempted for a CTO of the RCA that had occurred after coronary artery bypass graft­ing. Since the longitudinal axis of the proximal RCA was visualized well in the LAO+CA projection, the AP+CR projection was also cho­sen because it was orthogonal to the LAO+ CA projection. (c) The longitudinal axis of the middle portion of the RCA was visualized well in the AP + CA projection, so the LAO + CR projection was also selected because it was orthogonal to the AP + CA projection. (d) Imaging of the peripheral RCA bifurcation should be able to clearly distinguish the two branches. Therefore, LAO+CR and AP+CR pro­jections were chosen, although the detector surfaces partially overlapped

1.5.1.3 Selecting Two Orthogonal Projections
I will discuss the rationale for empirically selecting the opti­mal uoroscopy angles and the angles parallel with the lon­gitudinal axis of the target vessel, as well as how to choose the two orthogonal projections. In general, you should rst choose a projection that appears to be orthogonal to the lon­gitudinal axis of the target vessel in the ROI, i.e., the pro­jection that gives the longest view of the vessel in the ROI (Fig.1.31). If this projection is truly orthogonal to the longi­tudinal axis of the target vessel (providing the longest view of the longitudinal axis of the target vessel inside the ROI), then the vessel must be parallel with the detector surface. Based on this assumption, the angle of the second projection orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the vessel in the ROI can be determined from the direction of the vessel on the detector surface.
If the vessel runs vertically on the rst detector surface, the second detector surface should be set at a right angle in relation to the body axis, i.e., at 90 degrees in the RAO or LAO direction (Fig. 1.32). If the vessel runs horizontally on the rst detector surface, the second detector surface should be angled in the cranial (CR) or caudal (CA) direc­tion (Fig.1.33). If the vessel runs to the upper right (at 45 degrees) on the rst detector, the second detector surface should be rotated at 90 degrees to ensure identical angles from the LAO+CA or RAO+CR directions.
I would like to give some examples of determining the angles of detector surfaces that are parallel with the longi-
tudinal axis of the target vessel. In practice, the longitudinal axis of the target vessel in the ROI is often not parallel with the rst detector surface (Fig.1.34a). In the above explana­tion of how to select the angle of the second detector sur­face, I assumed that the surface of the second detector was always parallel with the longitudinal axis of the vessel in the ROI (Fig.1.34b). Rotation of the rst detector surface at 90 degrees around the longitudinal axis of the target vessel on the second detector surface will make both detector surfaces parallel with the longitudinal axis of the vessel in the ROI (Fig.1.34c).
Another practical example is shown in Fig. 1.35. Figure1.35a presents the RAO+CA image that gives the longest view of the LCX.In this patient, the axis of the LAD ostium runs horizontally on this image (RAO+CA). When a 90-degree turn is made to LAO+ CA, the axis of the LAD ostium will be vertical, so LAO + CA will be the optimal angle (Fig.1.35b).
Once the projection which gives the longest view of the longitudinal axis of the target vessel in the ROI has been determined, it is easy to select the second and third uoros­copy angles. Therefore, it is important to know the standard projections that give the longest view of the longitudinal axis of each coronary artery segment in the ROI (Table1.4). It should be noted that this table only shows standard projec­tions, so it is most important to estimate the optimal projec­tions from the diagnostic angiograms. One exception to these standard projections is treating a CTO at the bifurcation of a

large artery, when it is often important to consider whether the two projections can clearly distinguish multiple branches rather than focusing on orthogonality. Specically, I choose the uoroscopy angles for visualizing the LMT bifurcating into the LAD and LCX and the RCA bifurcating into the 4PD and 4AV as described below (Table1.5).
As shown in Fig.1.36a, the axis of the LAD ostium runs vertically in the LAO + CA projection. After the angle is rotated at 90 degrees toward the RAO, the axis of the LAD ostium runs horizontally on the image (Fig.1.36b). Based on this information, the detector sur­face will be parallel with the longitudinal axis of the ves­sel in the RAO+CR projection (angled at 90 additional degrees in the CR direction). However, it is hard to clearly distinguish between the LAD and LCX in the RAO+CR projection, so I choose the two uoroscopy angles shown in Fig.1.36c and d when performing PCI for LAD/LCX bifurcation lesions.
When performing PCI for lesions from the middle part of Segment #3 of the RCA up to its bifurcation, I often choose the AP+ CR and LAO + CR projections (Fig. 1.37). The two standard orthogonal projections that provide the longest
view of the longitudinal axis of the vessel in Segment #3 of the RCA are the AP+CA (RAO+CA) and LL/LAO+CR projections (Table1.5). However, the RCA bifurcation can­not be visualized clearly in these projections, so I always change the uoroscopy angles as the guidewire approaches the bifurcation.
Although the uoroscopy angles are basically determined as explained above, the patient’s body or the other imaging equipment can sometimes preclude imaging in theoretically optimal orthogonal projections. If difcult imaging con­ditions prevent use of the optimal uoroscopy angles for viewing the longitudinal axis of the vessel in the ROI, it becomes necessary to perform PCI while using angles that are quasi- orthogonal but achievable under the actual imaging conditions.
When obtaining a lateral view of the LAD, the patient’s arms positioned along the body have little inuence on image quality, while both of the patient’s arms have to be raised above the head to obtain a good lateral view of the LCX.If the target lesion is located in the LCX and needs to be viewed laterally, you should therefore avoid using the TB or TR approaches.
Fig. 1.31 Two orthogonal projections around the midportion of the
LAD (1). The part of the LAD with the CTO runs vertically (from upper to lower) on the detector surface in the AP+CR projection. If the LAD is parallel with the detector surface, rotating the detector at 90 degrees
in relation to the body axis will provide orthogonal views of the vessel. The longitudinal axis of the target vessel should run vertically on the detector surface in the new projection

cates that the vessel is being viewed in two projections that are orthogo­nal to its longitudinal axis and that the LAD of this patient runs to the left and anteriorly from its origin while remaining perpendicular to the body axis
