Coronary Artery Tenting After Bypass Grafting: A Key Issue During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of a Chronic Total Occlusion.

Coronary Artery Tenting After Bypass Grafting: A Key Issue During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of a Chronic Total Occlusion. J Invasive Cardiol. 2019 Jan;31(1):E2-E3 Authors: Jurado-Román A, Rumoroso JR, Abellán-Huerta J, López-Lluva MT, Sánchez-Pérez I, Ruíz-Poveda FL Abstract This image series shows how bypass grafts may tent the vessel to which they are anastomosed, potentially changing the expected course of the native coronary vessel. This fact must be taken into account during CTO-PCI, and this case emphasizes the importance of careful analysis of coronary anatomy with several angiographic projections.
