Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusion
Treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions represents one of the major challenges in the field of interventional cardiology. This is due to the complexity of these procedures and to the relatively higher risk of complications.

IVUS-assisted parallel wiring for coronary chronic total occlusion
In percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO), various techniques such as parallel wiring or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided wiring have been developed.

Two life-threatening complications during chronic total occlusion management
A 50-year-old man, with one-month effort angina and a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, was subjected to coronary angiography (CA), via the left radial approach, which revealed single-vessel chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the mid-right coronary

Coronary Artery Chronic Total Occlusion
Coronary artery chronic total occlusion (CTO) is defined as an occluded coronary artery segment without anterograde flow for at least three months. It can be classified as a “true” or “functional” CTO based on flow characteristics.

Background. The role of rotational atherectomy (RA) in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is expanding to include certain chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions. However, the long-term outcome of RA in CTOs is still unclear.

The Impact of Calcium on Chronic Total Occlusion Management
Coronary artery calcification is prevalent in chronic total occlusions (CTO), particularly in those of longer duration and post-coronary artery bypass. The presence of calcium predicts lower procedural success rates and a higher risk of complications of ...

Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is defined as the complete obstruction of coronary arteries in the duration of at least three months. In the last two decades interest in new techniques of percutaneous treatment of chronic total occlusion has increased and it has shown a greater rate of successful treatment compared to before.1 Thanks to the new materials
