CTO complications

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2023 Clinical Case submissions

Facilitators: B. Faurie, M. Iannaccone

Summary

Navigate through the world of complex chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions and explore the challenging complications that may arise in this session: encounter a rare case involving simultaneous septal rupture and donor vessel thrombosis during a retrograde CTO procedure, learn about the management strategies for distal coronary perforation caused by guidewire manipulation in CTO patients, uncover the complexities of interventricular septal hematoma, and much more!

  • Management of guidewire related distal coronary perforation in CTO patient
  • CTO physiology learned the hard way
  • Oops - Call the surgeon?
  • When all enemies agree together to trouble you!
  • Septal rupture and donor vessel thrombosis at the same time during a retrograde
  • Interventricular septal haematoma: a complication of retrograde CTO PCI
  • Catheter-induced left main and ascending aorta dissection in elective CTO case
  • "Bypassing" a rock - Taking a shortcut (and paying the price for it)
