Complication management in CTO PCI - Part 1

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 clinical cases submissions

Summary

This session addresses complication management during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions. It covers strategies for unexpected coronary complications, managing tamponade without visible perforation, rescue techniques for atherectomy-related perforations, managing dry pericardial tamponade after septal branch perforation, and challenges when retrograde approaches encounter thrombosis in CTO PCI.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Bracing the storm in the calm sea
  • Managing an unexpected coronary complications during CTO PCI
  • Tamponade without a visible perforation site
  • Dry pericardial tamponade following septal branch perforation during the retrograde right coronary artery-CTO PCI
  • When retrograde approach meets thrombosis in CTO PCI
