#HDRanalysis - Happy New Year Edition! 🧵
The first #HDRanalysis of 2025!
The case was posted earlier by @evandrofilhobr - a man who needs no introduction here.
There were three #HDR injections - with three(!) different patterns.
Case below, my analysis to follow…

#CTO101 #HDR #CTOPCI Interesting RCA CTO PCI @realarainmd maybe I get honor to get your inputs in this case... Still don't know how to name the crossing technique lol !😅 (I'm sure the patient don't care!)

💧#HDRanalysis 🧐 - Case 027
An CTO Intervention Unlike Any You Have Seen! 🧵
Here is an unusual CTO for most. The patient is a 48 year old woman with systemic sclerosis (SSc), Raynaud’s, and non-healing ulcer of the left 3rd digit.
Here is the patient’s hand. More…👇🏼

@realarainmd 🙏 kind words @realarainmd !
It has been a pleasure to learn from you.
I always felt it was so easy to talk to you!
As you pointed out - we felt there was a mechanical issue with the anastomosis/prior stent. Lesion was heavily calcified .. Added post-laser/balloon Image.
English
I would like to congratulate and recognize Arnav, who posted his 1st #HDR. I have known him since he was a resident - and now he is a budding #CTOPCI specialist!
👉🏼 You can see why prior attempts failed - the anastomosis is in STENT jail

@realarainmd @Houston @pranav_loyalka @DLBHATTMD @YChatzizisis Thank you @realarainmd!
Felt I was able to engage the lesion cap in a coaxial manner with a micro-catheter - and the goal of #HDR was to create/find a micro-channel. Thankfully, it worked well.
English
@arnavkumar @Houston @pranav_loyalka @DLBHATTMD @YChatzizisis Congratulations Arnav on your #my1stHDR! 👏🏼 Great job - it was interesting because you went against the typical #HDR - INTO the stent vs. out of it.
(From a Eastern philosophy perspective, there is no inside or outside. Haha. But that is a debate for another time!)
Well done!

Slightly harder contrast injection through micro-catheter since #ISR. Crossed with Mongo, however balloon uncrossable, Micro-catheters won’t reach since long SVG… 0.9 Laser worked .. Ballooned and stented ..
