The challenge with ostial CTO lesions

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2024 Clinical Case submissions

Summary

This session comprises selected EuroPCR 2024 Clinical Case submissions focused on the challenges in treating ostial chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions. It covers various case presentations and discussions, including the use of specialized techniques and devices to tackle calcified and stumpless ostial right coronary artery CTOs, as well as IVUS-guided antegrade CTO approach with retrograde wire facilitation.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • When having a snare is not enough
  • An attack on both fronts
  • Double challenge: calcified and stumpless ostial right coronary artery CTO
  • Between a rock and a hard place, we chose the rock
  • CTO PCI of an unengageable right coronary artery with severe reduced LVEF
  • Every cloud has a silver lining: multiple techniques in retrograde CTO PCI problem solving
  • IVUS-guided antegrade CTO approach with retrograde wire facilitation
  • PCI in calcium rock: a challenging case
