  • Ahmed E. Awesome work by two master operators. A live demo of the various challenges faced during CTO PCI beyond wire crossing. Loved the rota tips. Had the same experience with OPN balloons in a similar scenario where a spike of calcium kept rupturing every other balloon ????????????????

      • Mohamed R. Very informative case with lots of well managed complications, some questions if I may, retrospectively was using IVL before rota or even after stenting of LCx ostium a good option, then how is LAD flow restored despite using a covered stent from LM to LCx ?
