A Novel Algorithm to Treat Chronic Coronary Total Occlusions

In this webinar, Pierfrancesco Agostoni, Ziekenhuis Netwerk Antwerpen Middelheim, Antwerp, Belgium presents a simpler and more efficient approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic coronary total occlusion (CTO), termed the Minimalistic Hybrid Approach (MHA). Agostoni discusses how MHA helps to downsize the set-up procedure but also helps to achieve minimal invasiveness by improving elements such as the access site, dual injection, and introducer size, while at the same time maintaining the efficiency and success rate of the classic algorithm approach.
