Abstract: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes of chronic total occlusions (CTO) lesions have improved in recent years due to a better understanding of the physiopathology of the disease, more effective techniques and improvement in the design of new devices. We describe a new use of the Tornus® Catheter in the anterograde approach for CTO treatment.<br /> (© 2014.)
