Abstract

Selected patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) benefit with respect to symptoms, quality of life, ischemia reduction, and potentially longevity among other benefits. CTO lesions tend to be the most technically challenging for practicing interventional cardiologists to deliver a successful and safe result and clinical experience for a given patient. The Hybrid algorithm for CTO percutaneous coronary intervention and the subsequent subalgorithms for focused technical challenges have a standardized process and provide a consistent platform for optimized patient care, medical education, and clinical investigation in patients challenged with total occlusion and complex coronary disease.
