The primitive stage in Göttingen 1995/97
• Of 2464 PCIs within 2 years we did
365 PCIs of “occluded” arteries (14.8%)
• Prof. Kreuzer 44, Buchwald 181, Figulla 29,
Scholz 51, Werner 100
• Of 365 PCIs 153 were successful: 58%
• My personal “record”: 64% …
… selected cases:
the stiffest wire was the ACS Standard
Lesson 1: Too many operators for the same
lesion subset do not help developing enough
experience

Did new technologies get you through a CTO ?
• Early ideas: Magnum wire, ROTACS
• Safecross
OCR and RF
• Frontrunner
mechanical
• Crosser vibration
Lesson 2: Too many fancy devices do not
make the trick, it is the operator and the wire
only

How to improve CTO success in Europe ?
Lesson 3: Collaborate and share your
experience and problems, keep an open ear to
alternative opinions
![Page 15: Which setting? – Top 10 lessons learned from my time as CTO beginner](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65100e7f8b9a223a8b4a65/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Learning together from the masters …
You profit from a peer
Lesson 4: Look for a senior guide to help you
through the difficulties of the procedure, revisit
during the stages of your development

The 3 main issues for the treatment of CTOs
2017
• Should we do it ?
• Guidelines: if symptomatic
• How to do it
• Specialized approach
• How to keep it open
• DES

Do you think twice about opening this lesion ?
And why do I have to defend opening this lesion ?
![Page 18: Which setting? – Top 10 lessons learned from my time as CTO beginner](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a65100e7f8b9a223a8b4a65/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Do you think twice about opening this lesion ?
And why do I have to defend opening this lesion ?
Lesson 5: A CTO is just like any other coronary
lesion regarding the indication, but you need to
prepare..

Lessons for the proper approach: Patience
1. A CTO procedure takes time, and you need
to have enough time
2. Take your time before you start and plan,
what are the options, what is the most likely
way to success
3. Be patient, if you cannot stay with a case as
long as it takes, do not start it
4. Always stay vigilant, the worst complications
can occur at the end through carelessness
5. The patient’s safety is more important than
your ego
