Coronary CTO PCI: Evolving My Skill Sets

Coronary CTO PCI is truly the last frontier for an interventional cardiologist. To be a successful CTO operator, there are many new skillsets to learn. Intentionally creating a coronary dissection is probably one of the most uncomfortable of them. This goes against conventional teaching and training during IC fellowship. In this session, we hope to get the audience comfortable with these uncomfortable techniques.
