Upgrade to retrograde: when and how?
16 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session delves into the decision-making for transitioning to a retrograde approach in CTO PCI, covering effective techniques and safety considerations for successful outcomes, through cases involving antegradely induced hematomas and ambiguous CTO caps, alongside severe distal atherosclerosis.
Antegrade CTO PCI: how to develop a consistent and systematic strategy ?
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This replay provides a comprehensive guide to mastering antegrade wire escalation (AWE), managing failed procedures, and utilizing IVUS to address ambiguous proximal caps. Additionally, learn when to stop in the event of a failed case and explore alternative strategies to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
How to choose a snare and how to create a snare in complex PCI scenarios
19 Dec 2023
Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures are dramatically increasing in daily practice. Calcified coronary artery lesions and hostile cardiac anatomy may increase the risk of device dislodgment and/or malposition. In such situations, the use of a snare catheter is pivotal to retrieve and/or reposition the device.

How to choose a snare and create a snare to enhance device trackability in structural interventions
19 Dec 2023
Transcatheter structural procedures are dramatically increasing in daily practice. Approaching hostile cardiac anatomy may increase the risk of device dislodgment and/or malposition. In such situations, the use of a snare catheter is pivotal to enhance device trackability.

Complex PCI with left ventricular support - Session with LIVE case
07 Oct 2022 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2022
Look at this case of a 73-year-old man, heavy smoker, with hypertension, type 2 DM, and hyperlipidemia, who recently suffered class III effort-related angina and non-ST elevation MI, who presented with a totally occluded RCA, ulcerated LM, occluded LAD, and stenotic LCx, and study LIVE a complex PCI...
How to overcome uncrossable CTO
17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
Consult this session to learn all about how to overcome uncrossable CTO with outside-the-box approaches, thanks to a selection of interesting cases: ostial in-stent CTO and shockwave, balloon uncrossable CTO lesion after externalisation of retrograde wire, and much more!
How to deal with calcified CTO
17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
In this dedicated session from EuroPCR 2022, listen to Gabriele Luigi Gasparini talk about procedural challenges and device selection for calcified CTO, while James Spratt looks at how to deal with long, calcified CTO, and Kambis Mashayekhi discusses problems and solutions in calcified CTO.
Selecting CTO strategies - Quo vadis based on angiograms
17 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
This EuroPCR 2022 case-based session deals with selecting our strategy for CTO PCI based on angiographic analysis, focusing on how the anatomy is going to dictate our interventional strategy.
I need a shorter guiding catheter and I don’t have it in my cath-lab!
12 Apr 2022
The guiding catheter is necessary for guaranteeing the support and deliverability of additional devices. However, it's not always of the perfect length for several reasons, because it is not available at that moment in the cath-lab or it is not designed for the purpose you need....
