CTO with heavy calcifications
1. Difficulties to penetrate the proximal
or distal cap with the wire
2. Difficulties to advance and
manipulate the wire inside the CTO
3. Difficulties to advance the
microcatheter
4. Difficulties to cross the lesion with the
balloon
5. Difficulties to well expand the stent

CTO with heavy calcifications
CONCLUSION
Heavy Calcifications in CTOs
1. Persevere, don’t get discouraged
2. Use of many techniques and tools to augment the
backup support
1. Use of dissection-reentry technique to circumvent
the calcified zone when you can’t get from true to
true but you need a good landing zone
1. Watch the tip of your guidewire during efforts for
crossing the CTO with the balloons or other devices
