Abstract:
More interventional cardiologists are adopting chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in their practice. This article follows the steps of the PCI procedure to describe the toolbox and inventory requirements for successful program development. Recent innovations have allowed adoption of controlled dissection and reentry techniques as a primary revascularization strategy for CTO. Other devices have special rules in CTO PCI. Equipment and techniques to enhance guide catheter support are frequently needed during CTO PCI. Tools for complication management are important components. The necessary tools are listed at the end of the article.
