Summary

Delve into advanced strategies for chronic total occlusion (CTO) beyond conventional methods. This session covers step-by-step re-entry techniques with electrified guidewires, approaches to CTO in small vessels, and indications and methods for occlusion of saphenous vein grafts, illustrated by detailed case discussions and key learnings.
