A Novel Hybrid Approach to the Treatment of a Left Main Coronary Artery Aneurysm
A 66-year-old man with a ramus chronic total occlusion had escalating angina and a high-risk stress test. Coronary angiography the day of his planned ramus chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention demonstrated a large left main aneurysm.

New Advances in Chronic Total Occlusions [PDF]
Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) still represent the greatest technical challenge that interventional cardiologists face. CTOs remain seriously undertreated with percutaneous techniques, far below their prevalence. One reason for the low uptake was the suboptimal CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) success rates over a long period of ...

Treating Chronic Total Occlusions Successfully
We read with interest the paper by Othman et al ([1][1]). The authors concluded that the success rate of chronic total occlusion (CTO)-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was below the reported rates in the literature.
