The Impact of Calcium on Chronic Total Occlusion Management

Coronary artery calcification is prevalent in chronic total occlusions (CTO), particularly in those of longer duration and post-coronary artery bypass. The presence of calcium predicts lower procedural success rates and a higher risk of complications of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention. Adjunc...

description Coronary artery calcification is prevalent in chronic total occlusions (CTO), particularly in those of longer duration and post-coronary artery bypass.
