Abstract Background There is no consensus on the optimal guidewire passage route for femoropopliteal (FP) chronic total occlusion (CTO). If intraplaque wiring can be performed, a stent-less strategy using a drug-coated balloon can be realized even with FP CTO, and there is a high possibility that good expansion can be obtained even when stent deployment is performed. AnteOwl WR (AnteOwl) is a novel intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) device useful for navigating the second guidewire into the intraplaque route under IVUS observation from the subintimal space. Here, we describe representative cases of FP CTO in which CTO-specific IVUS was extremely useful. Case presentation Case 1 involved a 79-year-old man with total occlusion of the left superficial femoral artery (SFA). We used a contralateral antegrade approach, but the guidewire was advanced into the subintimal space. We advanced AnteOwl into the CTO. By utilizing the asymmetric structure of the transducer and the IVUS wire, we were able to reflect the positional relationship among the IVUS transducer, IVUS wire, and target plaque onto the angiographic image. By aiming the wiring in that direction, we succeeded in traversing the center of the plaque and finally succeeded in obtaining good expansion using the drug-coated balloon. Case 2 involved a 76-year-old woman with total occlusion from the SFA to the popliteal artery. We used an ipsilateral antegrade approach. When AnteOwl was placed on the wire and advanced to the popliteal artery, the subintimal space in the middle of the SFA could be visualized. We employed an IVUS-guided parallel wiring technique and succeeded in passing through all intraplaque routes. Although the CTO was long, we could easily advance through the intraplaque route by reflecting the information obtained from AnteOwl in angiography. Conclusions AnteOwl is an effective IVUS for FP CTO and facilitates a complex IVUS-guided procedure.

Abstract Background The strategy of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided wiring for CTO PCI, that is, leading the second guidewire into the true lumen under observing by IVUS from subintimal space, is the last resort. We developed the angiography-based 3D wiring method. During establishment of the angiography-based 3D wiring method, we deduced that observation of the guidewire tip as well as the shaft named “The tip detection method” simplifies and facilitates 3D wiring under IVUS-guided wiring. Therefore, we produced New CTO IVUS which is the upgraded version of Navifocus WR IVUS by adding the pull-back transducer system. This pull-back system enables us to detect the tip as well as the shaft of the second guidewire in real time (tip detection method), which facilitates the 3D wiring technique under IVUS-guided wiring. Objective We evaluated the efficacy of the tip detection method during 3D wiring for CTO PCI with New CTO IVUS. Method We created a target pinpoint penetration model and performed the procedures using an experimental heartbeat model. The target (a tube with a lumen 0.6 mm in diameter) was placed in the distal part of a CTO 20 mm in length made of 2.5% agar. After the second guidewire (Conquest-12g) was advanced into the CTO lesion to within 5mm of the target using the angiography-based wiring, IVUS-guided wiring was performed by using Navifocus WR or New CTO IVUS each five times. Result The frequency of the puncture time was reduced using the new CTO IVUS compared to the Navifocus WR (1.7±0.8 vs. 28.8±23.2, p=0.17). The procedure time was significantly shorter using the new CTO IVUS compared to the Navifocus WR (103±61 vs. 459±373 seconds, p=0.04). Conclusion The tip detection method during 3D wiring with the new short tip IVUS with the pull-back system enables us to easily perform 3D wiring and will change the CTO PCI strategy.
