Excerpt
The tip detection method is useful to perform intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-based three-dimensional (3D) wiring in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (
1) and to recognize the antrectomy direction during directional coronary atherectomy (NIPRO, Osaka, Japan) (
2). This method is a method to observe the tip and its direction by moving the transducer back and forth around the tip to visually construct the 3D image of the guidewire inside the vessel (
1). It would also be useful to navigate guidewires even through routes where it is difficult to pass, such as side branches during non-CTO procedures. …
