Increasing efficiency in CTO PCI

21 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

Focused on increasing efficiency in CTO PCI, this session covers diverse technical approaches including overcoming unexpected anatomical barriers, multiple wiring techniques, microchannel selection in bifurcation lesions, managing tortuous right coronary artery CTOs, unconventional strategies for uncrossable CTOs, and adapting perspectives in patients with previous CABG.

New techniques and tips in CTO PCI

19 May 2026 – From EuroPCR 2026

This session presents new techniques and practical tips in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It covers innovative approaches such as the side-flap technique, simplified antegrade strategies for calcified lesions, and retrograde CTO techniques, providing valuable insights into overcoming challenging occlusions.

How imaging can improve efficiency in CTO PCI

21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

Discover how advanced imaging techniques improve efficiency in CTO PCI procedures. This session features IVUS-guided antegrade dissection, angio-CT guided retrograde recanalisation, and complex cases involving anomalous anatomy and multiple bifurcations.
