How should I treat my CTO? Adapting to local conditions

With the collaboration of Egyptian Working Group of Interventional Cardiology and Moroccan Society of Cardiology

Anchorpersons: M. Seleem, D. Benzaroual

Discussants: P. Deharo, M. Zahran, A. M. Boutaleb

Summary

This session delves into managing chronic total occlusions (CTO) under resource-limited conditions, highlighting the essential CTO toolbox and strategic procedural planning. It emphasizes that an antegrade-first approach, often with dual arterial access, can achieve high success in many CTO cases, illustrated through complex real-world cases from Egypt and Morocco.

Learning Objectives

To describe the essential CTO toolbox when resources are limited
To outline pre-procedural preparation and procedural planning
To emphasise that an antegrade-first strategy, often combined with dual arterial access, is sufficient to achieve a high success rate in a large proportion of CTO procedures
