Operator CTO PCI Volume
 no upper limit in CTO
PCI success rates with
increased CTO PCI
volume
Continuous improvement
is possible, even among
high-volume CTO PCI
operators
Years since Initiation of CTO Programm
Fluorscopy time and contrast volume
Recommendations for CTO operators
 a minimum of 75 CTO-PCIs per operator has
been considered a reasonable threshold to
identify a skilled operator
 appropriate training and continued practice
(courses and proctoring)
 100 CTO PCIs/year must be performed by an
operator to reach a success rate >90%*
 referal of CTO patients to a more experience
operator if < 30 CTO procedures/year
 use of hybrid approach
Center / operator selection
Harding SA. J Am Coll Cardiol Intv 2017;10:2135–43; ; Galassi AR. EuroIntervention 2019;15:198
 Retrograde techniques should be reserved for
experienced operators (performing>50 per
year)
 50 retrograde procedures (25 as second
operator and 25 as first under supervision)
before becoming an independent retrograde
operator
Knowledge of complication management
Perforation Management Algorithm
 Being prepared to deal with
complications! especially in the
retrograde setting (e.g., perforation,
tamponade, donor vessel ischaemia)
 Availability of dedicated material
(covered stents, pericardiocentesis
kit, MCS)
 Trained nurses and technicians
 Cooperation with heart surgery

• Guidance of interventionalists in their learning phase (case selection) or for operator / center selection
• Heart Team discussions regarding the likelihood of complete revascularization with PCI or CABG
• Comprehensive informed consent for patients regarding the likelihood of CTO PCI success &
Complication
CTO PCI:
1) is performed with increasing success rates
2) overall, carries low risk of major complications
3) compared to successful CTO PCI, unsuccessful CTO
PCI is associated with significantly higher MACE rates
(coronary perforation and tamponade)

Table: Simple vs. complex CT-Cutoffs
THE CONCEPT OF THE “HYBRID APPROACH”
After dual coronary
angiography, four angiographic parameters are assessed:
1) proximal cap location and (non-) ambiguity; 2) occlusion length;
3) quality of the distal vessel; 4) presence of collaterals suitable
for retrograde techniques (“interventional collaterals”). Based on
these four features, an initial strategy and hierarchy for subsequent
approaches are established. The hybrid algorithm has been shown to be effective (success rates of ~90%), safe
(low rates of complications:
tamponade 1.3%, periprocedural myocardial infarction
1.0%, death 0.4%), and efficient (favourable procedural metrics)50.
Additionally, the mantra of this algorithm is its reproducibility and
the fact that it can be easily taught/learned, resulting in high success
rates obtained by new operators63.

Assessment of 4 angiographic parameters: 1) clear understanding of location of the proximal cap (angiography or IVUS) 2) lesion length 3) presence of branches, as well as size and quality of the target vessel at the distal cap – distal target 4) suitability of collaterals for retrograde techniques → to provide a consistent framework to evaluate patients, reproduceabile and teachable method

  • 50. THE CONCEPT OF THE “HYBRID APPROACH” After dual coronary angiography, four angiographic parameters are assessed: 1) proximal cap location and (non-) ambiguity; 2) occlusion length; 3) quality of the distal vessel; 4) presence of collaterals suitable for retrograde techniques (“interventional collaterals”). Based on these four features, an initial strategy and hierarchy for subsequent approaches are established. The hybrid algorithm has been shown to be effective (success rates of ~90%), safe (low rates of complications: tamponade 1.3%, periprocedural myocardial infarction 1.0%, death 0.4%), and efficient (favourable procedural metrics)50. Additionally, the mantra of this algorithm is its reproducibility and the fact that it can be easily taught/learned, resulting in high success rates obtained by new operators63.
