A New Algorithm for Crossing Chronic Total Occlusions From the Asia Pacific Chronic Total Occlusion Club
Abstract Although the hybrid chronic total occlusion (CTO) algorithm had many excellent recommendations, there has been infrequent adoption in the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific CTO club propose an algorithm for case selection based on the Japan-CTO score and a new CTO algorithm, which is applicable globally. This algorithm allows for differing skill sets and equipment availability and contains practical teaching for CTO percutaneous coronary intervention. Similar to the hybrid algorithm there are 3 main questions that determine whether the primary approach is antegrade or retrograde: 1) is there proximal ...
