Core Tip

Core tip: This retrospective study aimed to investigate whether the use of Fielder XT guidewire can increase the final procedural success of chronic total occlusion-percutaneous coronary intervention via the anterograde approach. We found that the use of Fielder XT guidewire was positively associated with procedural success based on multivariate logistic regression analysis. We found no significant differences between the XT group and the no-XT group with respect to clinical parameters, lesion-related characteristics, coronary artery rupture, in-hospital death or in-hospital target lesion revascularization. However, we found significant differences between the groups with respect to success rate, procedure time, stent length, contrast amount and in-hospital complications.
