Planning of CTO PCI based on initial angiogram
Anchorperson:
R. Garbo
Spokesperson:
E. Smith
Summary
View the case of a man with severe inferior ischemia and right coronary occlusion at the proximal and mi-parts, & follow discussion about how to approach the CTO, before analyzing the one of a 62-year-old man with anterior STEMI and elective PCI Cx, HTN, hyperlipidemia, LVEF 34 %, CCS III, HYHA III, & apical LV thrombus, to understand interventional collateral.
Learning Objectives
- To understand how CTO anatomy dictates interventional strategy
- To recognise the key anatomical features critical to procedural planning
- To understand how anatomy defines skill sets needed and can predict complexity
