Navigating complex CTO scenarios

Session comprising selected AICT-AsiaPCR 2023 Clinical Case submissions

Facilitators: J. Ako, A. F. Omar

Summary

In this session, delve into the complexities of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) interventions: explore advanced techniques like the balloon anchoring method for uncrossable CTO lesions and the use of IVUS to detect the distal cap of RCA CTO after CABG, and gain insights into managing unexpected challenges and complications that can arise during CTO PCI procedures.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Balloon anchoring technique for balloon uncrossable CTO lesion
  • When occluded vessel turns leaky
  • Unexpected turn. IVUS for detection of distal cap of RCA CTO after CABG
  • Open sesame - Finding the unseen track
  • Culprit vessel of CTO?
  • When CTO PCI gets complicated
