Learning Objectives:
  1. Review the application of retrograde CTO PCI (angio assessment, potential for success, potential for complication).
  2. Discuss an algorithm-based approach to assessing angio, choosing collateral, crossing collateral, and avoiding complications. Focus on steps, troubleshooting, wires and devices, and management of complications.
  3. Demonstrate an algorithmic assessment and treatment techniques for retrograde CTO PCI with examples of troubleshooting.
