Update on the Management of Chronic Total Occlusion of Coronary Arteries: Review Article

Abstract

Chronic complete occlusions (CTOs) are observed in roughly one-third of individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) and can be difficult to treat during percutaneous revascularization. Advances in CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, devices, and algorithms, on the other hand, have resulted in major improvements in the successful treatment of CTOs. This review covers existing CTO management in light of recent PCI approaches and evidence.
