Indian Heart J. 2016 Sep;68 Suppl 2(Suppl 2):S28-S31. doi: 10.1016/j.ihj.2016.04.010. Epub 2016 Apr 28.

Abstract

Preprocedural planning and advanced imaging is vital to achieve a consistent and high level of success for complex coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) revascularization. Various practice patterns exist around the world when performing coronary artery CTO revascularization. This case report highlights a fusion of global practices in CTO intervention and integration of advanced imaging to achieve successful revascularization.

Keywords: CORG; CTO; Coronary artery disease; Coronary bypass grafts; Percutaneous coronary intervention.
