Summary
This session addresses the complexities of chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions with a collection of challenging cases employing advanced techniques. Topics include IVUS-assisted recanalisation, hybrid approaches incorporating 3D wiring, retrograde interventions after antegrade failure, and management of procedural complications such as vessel rupture. The session also examines diagnostic challenges differentiating STEMI from CTO and presents innovative strategies for success in complex multivessel disease.
