Summary

This session, comprising selected EuroPCR 2024 Clinical Case submissions, explores various challenging and unexpected scenarios encountered during CTO PCI procedures. It includes case presentations and discussions on guide wire entrapment and removal, subintimal wiring, revitalizing hope in a low ejection fraction patient, physiologic and hemodynamic considerations changing the revascularization plan, and managing balloon uncrossable lesions during CTO PCI.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • They decided to separate each other
  • How many complications can we expect during one retrograde CTO recanalisation procedure?
  • Guide wire entrapment and removal using a bioptome - A bail out
  • Where’s (Waldo) my wire? Subintimal wiring during CTO PCI
  • Revitalising hope: combined treatment for refractory angina in low ejection fraction patient
  • Physiologic and hemodynamic considerations may change revascularization plan
  • Balloon uncrossable lesions during CTO PCI
