Suggested algorithm for observation and management of septal hematoma after retrograde CTO-PCI. Imaging can be performed with catheterization, contrast echocardiography (our preferred method), or perhaps cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Unstable includes hemodynamic compromise, continued symptoms, development of large shunt, persistent or recurrent life threatening arrhythmia, effusion, or tamponade.
