Navigating complex CTO scenarios
22 Sep 2023 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2023
In this session, delve into the complexities of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) interventions: explore advanced techniques like the balloon anchoring method for uncrossable CTO lesions and the use of IVUS to detect the distal cap of RCA CTO after CABG, and gain insights into managing unexpected...
Calcified bifurcation lesion - LIVE case
22 Sep 2023 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2023
A 59-year-old female patient with type 2 DM, dyslipidaemia, hypothyroidism and impaired LV function (39%) presented with multivessel disease. RCA PCI was performed 3 days ago.
The prox and mid LAD showed a severe calcified lesion including the diagonal. The lesion was prepared using a 1.25 Rotaglide™ ('single-person'...
