1st Edition ML CTO 2016

The recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) has become an important and promising proce­ dure to treat overt or silent myocardial ischemia and improve patient outcomes. It is a growing and constantly evolving discipline, allowing us to improve our daily prac­ tice in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).

The Multi-Level CTO Course includes didactic and practical lectures with associated live cases, related to the topics covered during the session.
The first day has been dedicated to antegrade operators. Discussions around basic techniques and strategies, leading to more advanced teaching points.
The second day has focused on retrograde and antegrade dissection re­entry strategies.
Finally, the third day has addressed very complex cases, complications and tips & tricks.

In order to allow as many operators as possible to attend this event, the full conference has been streamed live in english and french versions on incathlab, and you can now watch all cases in VOD!
