08.00 BTK and CLI: how to succeed?
Moderators: P. Schneider, A. Stella, M. Fusaro, F. Airoldi

08.00 Developing concepts

08.00 What do we really know about pedal angiosomes? When is the collateral circulation adequate to heal the foot through indirect revascularization and how do we know when we have done enough? V. Alexandrescu
08.07 The first commandment of angioplasty for CLI: respect the “landing zone” R. Ferraresi
08.14 Pedal angioplasty: in which cases does it help and when is it too risky? M. Fusaro
08.21 Discussion

08.26 New tools

08.26 Tools and options for crossing long tibial occlusions, J. Brunet
08.33 Dedicated, self-expanding, drug eluting stent for the BTK arteries: the Stentys device and 6 month trial results, K. Deloose
08.40 Is there a place for very distal BTK stenting? What are the options for acute PTA failure? E. Puras Malagray
08.47 Bifurcated BTK stents: when and how to do it, G. Coppi
08.54 Discussion

09.00 Debate

09.00 BTK drug coated balloons will eventually solve our problem with CLI, G. Tepe
09.08 Drug coated balloons are dangerous in CLI. How about PTA or atherectomy with bailout DES when needed? M. Bosiers
09.16 Discussion

09.20 Next steps
