Abstract

The Subintimal-Tracking And Re-entry (STAR) technique is one of the possible choices to reanalyze a coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) in the context of an anterograde approach. This method should be mainly utilized as crossover approach to improve the success rate in conventional CTO procedures (after an unintentional subintimal dissection) and in a few cases as an intention to treat technique when a conventional approach has failed or when a surgical option is not feasible. This chapter presents the origins and evolution of the STAR technique and the analogies between the STAR technique and the CART and reverse CART techniques. Clinical outcome and risk of stent thrombosis after STAR technique are also discussed.
