CHAPTER 15
Antegrade Dissection and Re-Entry Techniques
Anbukarasi Maran*, Carson Keck & Matthew C. Evans*
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, USA *Corresponding authors
The inability to successfully pass a guidewire across a lesion into the true lumen of the distal vessel is the most common reason for Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI) failure in Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) [1, 2]. Antegrade Dissection Re-entry (ADR) is an integral part of the Global CTO Algorithm [3]. There have been several different techniques that have been described to improve the success rate of traversing CTO lesions. Over the past several years, there has been development of dedicated microcatheters and guide­wires that have become the mainstay in the field of CTO-PCI. In conjunction with the implementation of many different recanalization techniques and improved operator experience, the procedural success has also increased [4–6]. There are four general approaches that are used when crossing CTOS. These include antegrade wire escalation, antegrade dissection and reentry, retro­grade wire escalation, and retrograde dissection and reentry. Prior to any procedure, skilled CTO operators will evaluate the lesion characteristics and plan the desired crossing strategy. While registry data consist­ently show that antegrade wiring is the most common strategy for crossing CTOs, it is important to under­stand that to safely achieve a high success rate in CTO PCI, expertise in dissection and re-entry techniques and retrograde approaches are also required. In par­ticular, longer lesions (>20 mm) with associated calcifi­cation and tortuosity are more difficult to cross with wire escalation techniques and are more often success­fully treated with dissection and re-entry techniques.
In antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR), the oper­ator intentionally creates a dissection plane across the CTO segment and then re-enters the true lumen at or beyond the distal cap. This is possible secondary to the flexibility of the subintimal space which can easily accept a wire with minimal hematoma. The development of
several newer technologies has also made targeted re­entry back into the distal lumen more reliable, allowing for preservation of important side branches.
The antegrade dissection can be created in several ways: 1 Wire-based
Balloon-based
2 3
Catheter-based
4
Contrast-based
Wire-based
Subintimal tracking and re-entry (STAR) was the first dedicated ADR technique to be described [7]. This tech­nique involves pushing a wire, usually a polymer jack­eted knuckled wire with low tip force, through the CTO body. The wire is knuckled, similar to a blunt dissection technique used in surgical procedures, until it reaches the distal true lumen. The knuckled wire usually stays within the architecture of the vessel and through a dis­section plane past the CTO. The wire will advance through the subintimal space until it is able to re-enter the true lumen. The STAR approach is associated with relatively uncontrolled re-entry to the true lumen. An evolution of the STAR technique is the mini-STAR tech­nique, where an attempt is made to wire the occlusion as far as possible before entering a dissection plane. The wire used is a polymer-coated guidewire with a 45-degree angle at the tip and a second 15-degree angle 4 mm from the tip. The wire is advanced toward the CTO and either crosses into the true distal lumen or is advanced for subintimal penetration followed by re­entry. However, the mini-STAR technique does not overcome the fundamental downside of STAR: that re­entry cannot be controlled [8]. As a result, the STAR and mini-STAR techniques have poor long-term results

with high rates of target vessel occlusion, side branch loss and repeat revascularization [9].
The next evolution of a primary wire-based approach is the limited antegrade sub-intimal track­ing (LAST) approach. In this technique, a high tip­load wire was used to cross the lesion. Once the wire was noted to be in a sub-intimal location, the guide­wire was exchanged via a micro-catheter for an alter­native guidewire with a tapered tip, high penetration force and large primary bend. The new guidewire is angled with primary and secondary bends that facili­tate puncture back into the true lumen. This tech­nique was, however, also associated with unpredictable re-entry location and less favorable outcome and with the development of dedicated re-entry equipment for ADR has largely been abandoned [10].
Balloon-based
Another technique that can be use is balloon-assisted subintimal entry (BASE) or antegrade fenestration and re-entry (AFR), typically used when there are impen­etrable proximal caps [11]. Inflation of a balloon that is sized 1:1 with the vessel, is inflated through the CTO segment which aims to create tears within the vessel media, thus allowing a soft polymer wire to cross fen­estrations and reach the distal true lumen. More data is needed regarding the reproducibility of this technique including longer-term outcomes.
Catheter-based
The mainstay of targeted re-entry involves the cathe­ter-based techniques. There are two main systems that are commonly used for this purpose, including the ReCross™ device and the CROSSBOSS™ Catheter and STINGRAY™ LP system.
The ReCross™ device is an over-the-wire, dual lumen microcatheter that has an additional exit port in the tip lumen at a 180-degree angle to the standard exit port (See Figure 15.1). This allows easier guidewire
re-direction and allows the operator to use and exchange 2 different guidewires simultaneously.
The CROSSBOSS™ Catheter and STINGRAY™ LP system was developed to create a controlled antegrade dissection plane to allow for targeted distal vessel re­entry (See Figure 15.2). This technique utilizes a blunt tip dissection catheter to create delivery of the STINGRAY™ balloon below the distal cap. The CROSSBOSS™ catheter will either track through the intimal plaque and re-enter the distal true lumen or most commonly, create a dissection plane in the subin­timal space. To accomplish this, the CROSSBOSS™ Catheter is advanced to the proximal cap. The torque is then attached and with a fast spin technique and gentle forward pressure the CROSSBOSS™ Catheter is slowly advanced in the subintimal space distal to the distal cap. The Stingray balloon is then traditionally used to re-gain access to the true lumen. Similar to the ReCross™ device, the STINGRAY™ balloon has two exit side ports that are 180 degrees apart. With low atmos­phere inflation, one port will be oriented facing the true lumen and the other will be facing away from the true lumen. The STINGRAY™ wire is then used to puncture the intimal flap and facilitate re-entry into the true lumen. The use of this system allows for a controlled site of vessel re-entry which creates reproducibility of this technique. Because of the predictability, this has become the most commonly used mode of ADR.

The contemporary ADR technique
Contemporary ADR is the newest iteration of ADR in which many changes have been made since the initial ADR in 2018. The overall goal of contemporary ADR is to limit exposure of the dissection plane to ante­grade arterial pressure. This is done by removing side holes from the guide catheter. A TrapLiner® guide extension is also used at the outset of the procedure and the number of antegrade wiring attempts are minimized. In contemporary ADR, we strive for a sin­gle catheter exchange mainly the microcatheter to the STINGRAY™ system. Lastly, balloon inflations are limited beyond the proximal cap.
Contrast-based
In 2008, a contrast-guided STAR technique was described [14]. In this technique, a stiff guidewire is used to puncture the proximal CTO cap. After the cap is sufficiently punctured, the distal tip of a microcath­eter or over-the-wire balloon is inserted into the lesion. The guidewire is then removed and 1 to 2 cc of contrast is injected into the CTO. The contrast injec­tion will allow for several possibilities: 1 Visualization of the distal true lumen
a This will allow for crossing of the lesion with a
workhorse guidewire
2 No distal visualization and resistance to injection
b A guidewire should be used to advance deeper
into the lesion after which contrast should be injected again

3 Dissection visualization
a Tubular dissection – linear contrast opacification
i Perform additional injections to open the
dissection into the distal true lumen
ii If contrast injections are unsuccessful, a poly-
mer jacketed knuckle wire should be inserted and advanced into the true distal lumen.
b Storm cloud dissection – diffuse staining
i Abort the procedure
This technique was reviewed by Carlino et al. in a group of 68 patients. It was noted to be successful in 81% of patients with restenosis in 45% of patients on 7 month follow-up [14]. Based on these results, this method is only recommended after of failure of stand­ard antegrade and retrograde techniques.
Contemporary ADR example (Figure 15.3)
Now that we have described all of the techniques com­monly used in contemporary ADR, we will walk through an example. This was a patient who had severe left main stenosis with a CTO segment of the dominant circumflex. The CTO PCI had been attempted twice by another operator twice. On the second attempt, the operator attempted the STAR technique but was unable to get back into the true lumen. The CTO segment was noted to have a shorter length of <20 mm with minimal calcification and tor­tuosity. The vessel was also noted to be filling in and out of dissection planes.
We started the case with a microcatheter and a Pilot 200™ and went into the dissection plane. We then immediately exchanged the Pilot 200™ for the STINGRAY™ balloon. Re-entry was done with GAIA 3 NEXT® wire. Reentry to true lumen was established. A stick and drive technique was used in which we used the same wire to complete the procedure. IVUS guided PCI was then completed.
Troubleshooting
When completing CTO PCI, there are several issues that can arise that the CTO operator should be com­fortable navigating. The first of these is difficulty knuckling the wire. This typically occurs when there is an impenetrable proximal cap. One technique that can be used in this scenario is balloon-assisted subin­timal entry (BASE). A balloon, sized 1:1 with the ves­sel, is inflated proximal to the CTO to create intimal disruption, and a microcatheter is then positioned alongside. This increases support and allows passage of a knuckle wire into a dissection plane [8]. A Carlino technique can also be used where contrast is injected through the microcatheter. The contrast will initiate the dissection and then the wire can create the knuckle.
Another downfall that can occur during PCI is the inability of the device to cross secondary to proximal vessel calcifications [3]. The techniques that should be used in this situation include: 1 Increase the amount of support by Amplatzing the
guide, guide extension, or anchor balloon
2 Use small balloons (1.5 mm x 20 mm) for
pre-dilation
3 Balloon assisted microdissection (BAM) with the
same small balloon 4 Dotter catheter (Turnpike gold® or Tornus®) 5 Laser atherectomy/on contrast 6 External cap crush – go into the direction plane
and crush the cap from behind 7 Carlino Technique 8 Use microcatheter to deliver a short wire for rota-
tional atherectomy
If calcification is present in the landing zone, you may want to try different wires to re-enter through your StingRay. Examples of wires that can be used are the Astado® 20, Gaia 3 Next®, and Hornet™ 14. The bend of the wire may also need to be changed to a steeper angle to assist in getting through the calcium.

The specific techniques that are commonly used are the Stick and Drive technique, the Stick and Swap technique and the Bobsled technique. In the Stick and Drive technique, the same wire is used to re-enter the true lumen and complete the PCI. In the Stick and Swap technique, after re-entering the true lumen, you exchange for a friendlier wire, such as a Pilot™ 200. Lastly, the Bobsled technique is done by moving the STINGRAY™ system forward or backward. This is typ­ically utilized when the location of re-entry is not ideal.
When a side branch is present at the proximal cap, a dual lumen catheter can be used with the second lumen allowing wire cannulation of the correct vessel. A modification of the BASE technique, the side-BASE, can also be used. In this technique, a blocking balloon is positioned in the side branch causing deflection of the knuckle wire into a dissection plane in the main vessel. A Pilot™ 200 wire could also be attempted as it has a larger knuckle avoiding the side branch.
During CTO PCI, if your landing zone disappears this is usually secondary to compression from a subin­timal hematoma. This can be mitigated with a Subintimal Transcatheter Withdrawal Technique (STRAW) with a StingRay balloon, microcatheter or over-the-wire balloon. A Blind Stick can also be attempted. During this technique, the operator will stick through both ports of the STINGRAY™. The wire should then be exchanged for a friendlier wire.

need for high pressure contrast injection which can create or propagate dissection. IVUS should be used in the tradition mechanisms to identify stent sizing and assessing stent apposition and expansion. Specific to the CTO PCI, IVUS can assist in determining the course of the wire. This will allow the operator to identify where the wire is in the false lumen and how it relates to side-branches thus decreasing uninten­tional side branch loss and periprocedural MI.
An additional strategy that can be utilized to assist in the planning of CTO procedures is coronary com­puted tomography angiography (CTA)/fluoroscopy co-registration. This can generate a three-dimensional view that can guide antegrade dissection and re-entry strategy. This technology will fully define the proxi­mal cap, allow for precise navigation of the dissection trajectory and selection of the most optimal re-entry site [16].
Outcomes
ADR has been increasingly used in the contemporary era given the increasing complexity of lesions and evolution of available equipment. Analysis of the RECHARGE registry demonstrated that the use of ADR resulted in nearly 90% success for CTO PCI [17]. In subgroup analysis, the CROSSBOSS™ Catheter and STINGRAY™ LP system had 81% success [18]. The most common reason for failure of ADR was either the formation of a distal hematoma at the land­ing zone or failure of the equipment to reach the distal landing zone [18]. These techniques appear relatively safe, however do still carry a 0.4–5%% risk of perfora­tion and higher risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction. For this reason, the use of antegrade subin­timal dissection and reentry technique are typically used as a second- or third-line strategy when conven­tional crossing attempts have failed.
As discussed above, the first described ADR for CTOP PCI was the STAR technique which was associ­ated with high rates of restenosis. The following itera­tions with the contrast-guided STAR technique, Mini-STAR technique and the LAST technique also showed high rates of in-stent restenosis with 1-year MACE rates of >15%. A more recent study looking at device-based ADR, which is now in contemporary practice, demonstrated that this technique had sig­nificantly lower MACE (~4–7%) with lower rates of re-stenosis [19].
Intravascular imaging in ADR
The use of intravascular imaging significantly reduces target vessel failure in non-occlusive disease [15]. The preferred modality is IVUS over OCT as it avoids the

ADR remains an essential technique for successful CTO PCI. This strategy is a safe and efficient means to achieve revascularization in longer, more complex

lesions. Once a dissection plane has been created, whether it be by predominantly wire- or catheter­based approaches, the distal lumen can be re-entered preferably in a controlled fashion in order to maintain important side branches. Interventionalists who wish to perform CTO PCI should familiarize themselves with dissection and reentry techniques.

CHAPTER 16
3D Wiring Methods in CTO PCI

Introduction
The coronary artery is a three-dimensional (3D) structure, therefore 3D wiring has a great advantage in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) which requires accurate guide­wire manipulation. Fifteen years ago, we proposed to Terumo Corp. (Tokyo, Japan) about the development of a CTO specific intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and Navifocus WR IVUS was developed in 2012 [1, 2]. After that, while performing IVUS guided recognized the importance of guidewire manipulation under 3D images and established the following 3D wiring methods (Figure 16.1). (1) Angiography-based 3D wiring [3, 4], (2) AnteOwl WR IVUS (AO-IVUS, Terumo Corp)-based 3D wiring for intraplaque tracking [5–8], and (3) AO-IVUS-based 3D wiring for antegrade dissection and reentry (ADR) (tip-detec­tion ADR; TD-ADR) [9, 10]. Most of the CTO cases can be treated by the procedural flow from (1) to (3) in the antegrade approach (Figure 16.2) [10]. Among the 3D wiring, IVUS-based 3D wiring of (2) and (3) is very effective and reliable, and it will change the strategy of CTO PCI in the world. Unfortunately, as of 2022, the CTO specific IVUS with a short-tip and a pull-back transducer system such as AO-IVUS is only available in Japan, and it is difficult to perform the same level of 3D wiring overseas as in Japan. However, 3D wiring consists of many various methods accumu­lated over a period of more than 10 years, and there are parts that can also be used overseas in various sit­uations. We hope that you have read this content and that you have made use of some parts of 3D wiring. In
wiring, we
addition, we hope that the spread of this content will make it possible to use the CTO-specific IVUS such as AO-IVUS outside Japan.
Basic concept of guidewire manipulation for 3D wiring in CTO lesions
First, we describe how the PCI CTO stiff wires move inside the CTO lesion (Figure 16.3A). The usual shape of the guidewire for a CTO lesion has only the 1st­curve with 45 degrees and 1 wire is rotated inside a solid CTO tissue, the shaft is fixed and only the tip is rotated like a pivot-like movement. The 3D wiring method applies this pivot­like movement. However, as the tissue collapses dur­ing the guidewire manipulation, it becomes difficult for the shaft to be fixed in the tissue, and the shaft also begins to move, reducing the accuracy of the guide­wire manipulation in the 3D wiring.
In order to perform the 3D wiring method, it is necessary to understand the guidewire manipula­tion. When advancing the guidewire inside the CTO lesion, there are only two manipulations: rotation and advancement. Unlike common guidewire manipula­tions such as searching with operator’s tactile feeling, which do not clearly separate the two movements, the 3D wiring requires clear recognition of these two manipulations and accurate advancement of the guide­wire toward the target. In other words, it is required for the operators to accurately advance the tip of the guide­wire to the target based on the 3D images by controlling a torque 140 cm away from the tip (Figure 16.3B).

Among the 3D wiring methods, angiography-based 3D wiring is complicated and has low accuracy. However, fluoroscopy (angiography)-guided guidewire manipula­tion is fundamental to CTO PCI. Whether or not angiog­raphy-based 3D wiring can be performed in clinical practice depends on whether 3D wiring can be performed

accurately with reproducibility using the Rotational ETOSS model (Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd.) (doi: 10.1007/ s12928-022-00861-3) [11], which is described later. There are two key points for 3D wiring. First, rotation of the torque and the tip of the guidewire should be synchronized. This technical point can be acquired by performing this synchronization even in open vessel PCI procedures. Second, immediate 3D image should be constructed from two orthogonal fluoroscopic observa­tions. The method of creating a 3D image from images obtained in 2 perpendicular directions is explained in the following [3, 4]. To create a 3D image of the guidewire

and its target, the guidewire should be divided into shaft and tip sections and their positional relationship with the target is assessed. There are 64 possibilities for the rota­tional angle when the wire tip is oriented at 45 degrees to the target (Figure 16.4) [3]. In order to quickly create a 3D image when wiring a CTO, the following “3D imaging rule” should be applied. The 3D imaging rule is “The object (shaft or tip) is always in front (behind) on the next image after rotation if the object is in the same (opposite) direction as the rotational direction of the X-ray detector,” and simplified, “The same is in front and

the opposite is behind.” The left to right direction and the up to down direction on the monitor should both be united with the rotational direction of the detector, so that 3D image of the wire and its target can be obtained at any location in the coronary arteries irrespective of coronary anatomy. Figure 16.5 displays how to use the 3D imaging rule [3, 4]. (1) The guidewire is divided into shaft and tip sections. (2) Next, the left to right and up to down directions on the monitor are united with the rota­tional direction of the detector. Accordingly, the object seen by the detector should be understood as shown on a
