There has been rapid development in the techniques used for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over the past decade, with success rates in experienced centres now exceeding 90%.1 This is in part due to advances in devices and techniques for CTO crossing, but also an improved understanding of strategy. The development of the ‘hybrid algorithm’ has improved…

During coronary revascularisation involving a main vessel and a side branch, it is unclear whether ballooning of the side branch is a prerequisite for long term clinical success. Coronary physiology techniques such as Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) provide a unique way to scientifically quantify whether a side-branch may need revascularisation following treatment of the main vessel.
Frequently it…

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) remain one of the most challenging percutaneous challenges in interventional cardiology, with technical success rates of only ~50–70 %.1,2 This lesion subset often poses the greatest risk and often requires techniques and equipment not typically utilised for more acute coronary lesions. However, successful percutaneous CTO revascularisation is associated…
