Written by recognized national and international experts in the field, this reference compiles the steps necessary to preform, what pitfalls to watch out for, and how to troubleshoot tactics. Written to bring a practical approach, this book is perfect for interventional cardiologists, interventional and general cardiology fellows, cardiology researchers, physicians, cardiac catheterization laboratory personnel, technical staff, industry professionals and everyone else interested in understanding the cutting-edge and rapidly evolving field of CTO PCI.
In this new edition, new figures, images and algorithms have been developed to reflect the updates in CTO PCI during the past few years. In addition, this update links to approximately 200 CTO PCI cases that are accessible for free and hosted by the author on YouTube, with monthly updates on new cases. The structure of the book is completely revised to align it with the recently published Manual of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (published in Oct 2020, also by Dr. Brilakis under the same imprint Academic Press).
- Provides step-by-step guidance on every technique used in coronary chronic total occlusion interventions using color figures and diagrams
- Presents expert guidance by leaders in the field with both large clinical experience and extensive experience proctoring CTOs in multiple clinical centers
- Contains links to approximately 200 YouTube videos that illustrate the concepts and techniques presented in the text
- Includes the latest clinical experience, equipment, techniques and publications
