Septals in retrograde PCI • Connects LAD and RCA(PDA) • Most frequently used in retrograde PCI for CTO’s of LAD or RCA • In theory, more straight forward course than epicardial channels • Variable channel size/diameter • Can be very tortuous too Paul Kao CCT 2013
Devices used to track septals • Microcatheter • Corsair • Finecross • Sortana, etc • Guidewire • Sion • Sion Blue, Suoh, XTR, etc • OTW BC Paul Kao CCT 2013
Viewing the septal course • Take-off from LAD • RAO cranial • Take-off from PDA • RAO caudal • Septal track • RAO • Tip injection from micro-catheter to isolate the track is important to isolate the desired track Paul Kao CCT 2013

LAD CTO via septal from RCA Paul Kao CCT 2013
Unusual conditions • Ipsi-lateral connection for m-LAD CTO • p-LAD septal d-LAD • Ipsi-lateral connection for m-RCA CTO • p-RCA conus branch septal PDA • Part of collateral loop involving other epicardial channel, connecting not only between LAD and RCA Paul Kao CCT 2013

Which septal to choose? • Multiple septal connections may be present, can we select one logically or just by chance? • AA and LEP • Rhythm issues • Total loop length • Cardiac cycle motion • “Septal surfing” Paul Kao CCT 2013
Attack angle (AA) & length from emerge point (LEP) short LEP long LEP large AA small AA Paul Kao CCT 2013
Distal is the better one in this case Paul Kao CCT 2013
Consequence of rupture • Hematoma – mostly benign, but may develop into abscess/VSD • AV fistula - benign • Dry tamponade/acute HOCM – extremely fatal! Paul Kao CCT 2013

What is dry tamponade? • Rare, but has been reported as a consequence of dissecting septal hematoma after surgical VSD repair • Septum bulging into ventricles reducing the end-diastolic volume, with hemodynamic effects similar to pericardial tamponade • If positioned at LVOT level, will also create HOCM-like hemodymanics • High mortality (~90%) if managed conservatively • Surgical evacuation and un-roofing • Hemostasis is not effective!!

OMG! fortunately, lucky patient!! Paul Kao CCT 2013
Conclusions With current devices and treatment strategies, CTO PCI produces acceptable and consistent results The choice of collaterals should be liberal, and pre-PCI planning is important Septals are useful and important, but as delicate and dangerous as other collaterals We still need improved wire design for better and safer tracking Paul Kao CCT 2013
Thank You For the Attention Paul Kao CCT 2013
Personal breakdown • 300 consecutive unselected CTO attempts from 2012-Jan to 2013-Sep • 10 failures, without emergent surgery nor mortality • Success rate 96.7% • 155 retrograde (51.7% of all CTO procedures) with 96.1% success • 72 using septal, 46.5% of all retrograde cases, with 98.6% success Paul Kao CCT 2013
