Translate tip detection
from complexity into clarity

Tip Detection: from 3D wiring to TD-ADR

Successful CTO crossing relies on the operator’s ability to precisely understand the spatial relationship between the guidewire tip, the vessel architecture, and the target true lumen. Over the past decade, 3D wiring has represented a conceptual breakthrough in antegrade CTO techniques, and tip detection (TD) can be seen as its practical and image-integrated evolution, particularly when combined with IVUS guidance.

Our Vision

TD-PCI stands for precise, innovative wire control, transcending traditional limits in PCI. Born from the spirit of the revolutionary Japanese IVUS-guided tip-detection antegrade dissection and re-entry technique, TD-PCI is more than a technical step: it is a philosophy. It symbolizes mastery of IVUS and wiring, the courage to rethink conventional pathways, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in the most challenging interventions. To detect the tip is to see beyond the lumen. It is to combine luminal angiographic projection with intravascular precision. It is to elevate procedural reasoning and refine the very essence of percutaneous revascularization: to transform visualization into understanding — and understanding into proficiency. TD-PCI is not merely a method — it is an evolving ethos committed to excellence, where innovation meets rigor and imagination is guided by evidence to advance patient care. By encouraging open scientific dialogue, TD-PCI is envisioned as a shared conceptual framework in which complex PCI can be interpreted, discussed, and reimagined.
