Chronic Total Occlusion Guest: Abhiram Prasad, M.D. Host: Paul Friedman, M.D. Chronic total occlusions are frequently encountered and are associated with complex coronary artery disease and diffuse atherosclerosis. Percutaneous coronary intervention is a suitable option for relieving angina in select patients who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy. Success rates of over 80% can be routinely achieved by CTO operators with MACE rates of less than 5%. Topics Discussed: Who is the ideal patient for CTO PCI? Which practices in CTO PCI maximize success and minimize risk? Is there a role of viability testing when evaluating patients for CTO PCI? Is there a role for non-culprit CTO PCI for complete revascularization post AMI? Is there any new clinical trial data for CTO PCI? Are there any new devices for CTO PCI?
