CTO (Chronic total occlusion)

Challenging CTO cases - Session 2

14 Dec 2022 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2022

This GulfPCR-GIM 2022 session compiles 5 challenging CTO cases and explains how to handle them. Study for example a flush ostial RCA-CTO, PWS in a CTO feeding vessel, rotablation and intravascular lithotripsy in three-vessel disease with IVUS, or rotaburr incarceration.

Bifurcation lesion

14 Dec 2022 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2022

Among the 3 bifurcation lesion cases presented in this GulfPCR-GIM 2022 session, find out how to deliver a trapped guidewire, how to manage a live angioplasty that turned out to be a nightmare, and how to deal with a multivessel intervention with left main bifurcation and...

Complex CTOs in CHIP

14 Dec 2022 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2022

Watch this session if you want to understand when and how protected PCI with mechanical support in CHIP is needed. You'll also learn about complex CTO PCI treatment in both antegrade and retrograde approaches, and plaque debulking techniques in severe calcified lesions.

The use of ultra-low contrast in complex CTO

14 Dec 2022 – From GulfPCR-GIM 2022

Thanks to the recorded complex CTO case shared in this session, learn how to perform ultra-low contrast PCI, learn what skills are required and tools available to perform ultra-low contrast coronary interventions in CTO, and become aware of the importance of relying on less contrast injections...

Treatment of calcified lesions

07 Oct 2022 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2022

Consider a 66-year-old man, hypertensive and diabetic for 10 years, with history of recurrent substernal chest pain and exertional dyspnea, who presented with easy fatigability and shortness of breath, or a 72-year-old man on dialysis who presented with STEMI and severe calcified stenosis of LAD/DI bifurcation,...

CTO-PCI

07 Oct 2022 – From AICT-AsiaPCR 2022

Consider a 53-year-old man with a strong family history of MI, a history of exertion angina with cycling and dyslipidemia, or a 76-year-old male patient with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, previous CABG (2017), cholecystectomy (2018), left carotid endarterectomy (2018), left leg intervention (2018), and mild aortic...
