    In-stent chronic total occlusions (IS-CTOs) often lead to device uncrossability, complicating coronary interventions.

  • 2

    The in-stent Carlino technique utilizes hydraulic plaque modification to effectively address device-uncrossable IS-CTOs.

  • 3

    Successful application of the in-stent Carlino technique was demonstrated in two complex IS-CTO cases, facilitating device delivery.

  • 4

    The technique benefits from the natural containment of the stent framework, reducing the risk of complications compared to conventional methods.

  • 5

    In-stent Carlino offers a safer alternative for managing IS-CTOs, enhancing procedural success in challenging cases.
