END-STAGE HF…UNEQUAL FIGHT?

OHT - best option

VADs implantation - as a bridge to….

• lack of

EXTREMELY poor prognosis (one-year mortality>70%!!)

END-STAGE HF…UNEQUAL FIGHT?

OHT - best option

VADs implantation - as a bridge to….

BUT CLINICAL REALITY…

lack of heart donors

limited access to VADs

contraindications and complications related to VADs/OHT

lack of heart donors

• lack of

EXTREMELY poor prognosis (one-year mortality>70%!!)

MEDICAL HISTORY AND CLINICAL STATUS:

• 67 years old male with DM, PAOD, CKD (3)

• HF since a large anterior MI complicated by CS – PCI of the

LAD (CTO of the RCA was then observed) – 2010

• Admitted with severe progression of HF (NYHA IV) and

recurrent VTs (numerous ICD discharges)

• LVEF 25%, akinesia of the anterior wall and hypokinesia of

the inferior wall. MR++, TR++, preserved RV function

• FA persistent (QRS 110 ms)

• Intensive pharmacologic treatment (sequential loop

diuretics, inotropic agents infusion and haemofiltration)

• Inotropic agents dependence

CORONARY ANGIO:

WHAT TO DO?

• IABP? SEVERE PAOD …

• LVAD?

• OHT?

• OTHER?

IS IT NON-OPTION CASE?

STRONG DATA ABOUT IMPACT OF THE CTO ON LONG-TERM PROGNOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH HF

Tajstra et al. Jacc Interv 2016;12:1790-7.

REAL WORLD…

• OHT? WE HAVE NO TIME

• LVAD? UNAVALAIBLE AT THIS MOMENT

• DISCONTINUATION OF INOTROPES NOT POSSIBLE

HEART TEAM DECISION: PCI OF THE RCA-CTO

CTO RECANALIZATION PROCEDURE:

What now??

1. only POBA2. rotational atherectomy3. other

Too far to take back..

What now??

Too far to take back..

We decided: Rotational atherectomyHowever RA is an extremaly riskyprocedure in pts with severeimpairement of LV function

CTO RECANALIZATION PROCEDURE:

CTO RECANALIZATION PROCEDURE:

CTO RECANALIZATION PROCEDURE:

EQUIPMENT:• GUIDING CATHETER: AL2

• MICROCATHETER: FINE CROSS

• WIRES: ULTIMATE BROSS, FIELDER XT

• MULTIPLE BALOON CATHETERS THEREIN NC AND CB

• ROTATIONAL ATHERECTOMY EQUIPMENT

• THREE DESs-EVEROLIMUS

ANGIO EFFECT OPTIMAL

CLINICAL EFFECT?…WE WERE HOPEFUL…

• continuous clinical improvement was observed

• inotrope support was discontinued three days after PCI

patient was discharged home 8 days later (NYHA class II/III)

• At 4 week follow EF-LV increased by 4-5%(NYHA class II/III)

In conclusion, this report

• highlights the crucial importance of CTO recanalization in

case of end-stage, inotrope-dependent HF

• reveals CTO recanalization usefulness as a valuable

bridging therapy to transplantation

• RA should be always in armamentarium

In conclusion this report

• highlights the crucial importance of CTO recanalization in

case of end-stage, inotrope-dependent HF

• reveals CTO recanalization usefulness as a valuable

bridging therapy to transplantation

A successful recanalisation of a CTO may be a very important

treat-to-target option and seems to be a comprehensive tool in

patients with non-option HF
