Summary

Learn contemporary tips and tricks for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with an emphasis on specific algorithms to enhance procedural efficiency and safety. This session addresses overcoming obstacles in antegrade and retrograde approaches and managing potential complications through real-world case examples.

Learning Objectives

  • To learn the tips and tricks of contemporary PCI intervention with reference to specific algorithms, to enhance efficiency and safety 
  • To learn the ways to overcome obstacles encountered in daily antegrade and retrograde approach in CTO interventions
  • To be aware of potential complications in CTO PCI and how to institute effective measures to rescue the complications
