Abstract
Improved equipment, development, and dissemination of novel recanalization practices and the clinical importance of complete coronary revascularization have led to a renewed interest in coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over the past decade. In particular, utilization of various permutations of the hybrid algorithm has been associated with increasing procedural success rates at higher-volume centers. However, several common technical challenges remain using the chronic total occlusion algorithm for even the most advanced operator. In this chapter, we present an updated, comprehensive review of solutions to common problems encountered during CTO PCI, including consensus hierarchical approaches to employing these solutions.
