Four-Year Follow-Up of Absorb BVS Compared to Xience EES in Daily Clinical Practice Shows Continued Accrual of Events

Percutaneous revascularization of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) is known for the high technical complexity. Considering the constant increase in CTO procedures, subsequent peri-procedural complications will rise too, thus they need to be promptly recognized and evaluated for their potential risk of clinical sequelae. We report the case of a newly described complication during trans-septal retrograde CTO intervention: a septal collateral artery dissection due to endothelial avulsion.
