Chronic Total Occlusion in 2025

 

Guest: Gregory Barsness, M.D.

Host: Malcolm Bell, M.D.

 

Chronic (>3 months) complete epicardial coronary obstructive lesions, often referred to as CTOs, are recognized in a large minority of those referred for coronary angiography yet historically represent <5% of coronary intervention attempts.  Improving tools, techniques and strategies have allowed greater access to percutaneous management of symptomatic coronary disease with improved procedural safety and technical and clinical success. 

 

Topics Discussed:

  • What is a CTO and who do they affect?
  • What are the management options for those with CTO?
  • How are candidates for CTO PCI identified?
  • What are the risks and anticipated clinical benefits of CTO PCI and can these be anticipated and results optimized?
  • What does the future hold for those with symptomatic chronic coronary occlusions?
