Highlights from The Experts 'Live', 4th annual congress of the Euro CTO Club, London 2012

摘要

After three successful annual meetings in Taormina (Italy), Thes-saloniki (Greece) and Wiesbaden (Germany), the Euro CTO Club moved to England for its fourth meeting. Attendance included key speakers from Japan and the USA, 180 interventional cardiologists active in CTO recanalisation (including 35 Euro CTO Club members), and a large representation from industry. The format remained the same as the previous three meetings, focusing on 16 recorded CTO cases to offer examples of easy and difficult anterograde and retrograde approaches with various techniques. The recordings were edited to extract key learning points, condensed to 20-30 minutes from much longer procedures.
