Retrograde CTO - the techniques
19 May 2022 – From EuroPCR 2022
Watch this EuroPCR 2022 session to discuss the basics of collateral analysis and passage with wires and microcatheters, retrograde intra and extraplaque CTO wiring, ante retrograde wire connection technique, marker wires, and much more!

Advanced techniques for complex CTO interventions (Part 2) - Session with LIVE demonstration
20 May 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021
Watch this session if you want to develop treatment strategies in a patient with multiple CTOs, to learn how to approach technical difficulties in complex CTO PCI, and to learn about treatment options for typical complications of CTO PCI.
This session was originally presented during EuroPCR 2021.

Bi-directional approach in a complex CTO - Session with LIVE demonstration
20 May 2021 – From EuroPCR 2021
Watch this session if you want to discuss how to plan and guide a CTO PCI, to learn how to select the most appropriate wires and microcatheters and to appraise how to apply antegrade and retrograde techniques in a structured manner.
This session was originally presented during...

How should I treat a chronic total occlusion of the LAD when the conventional hybrid approach fails?
18 Dec 2019
A 54-year-old male was admitted with an inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography (CAG) showed a thrombotic occlusion of the RCA and a total chronic occlusion (CTO) of the LAD and PCI on the RCA was performed.

A florilege of complex CTO cases
23 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session to discover compelling treatment strategies to cope with complex CTO cases, such as the opening of CTO of left anterior descending coronary artery using left ulnar artery, the combination of reverse CART and CART techniques to minimise false lumen, and more!

Employing the appropriate strategy in complex CTO treatment
22 May 2019 – From EuroPCR 2019
Consult this session to improve your skills as a CTO operator: learn more about the available CTO wires and devices and how to use double lumen catheters.
