Webinar Over view

\n

Mastering chronic total occlusions PC I: Unpack the data\, indications\, best practices and controversies in chr onic total occlusion (CTO) interventions\, with a focus on Veterans Health Administration patient management.

\n

Techniques and success rates for revascularization of chronically occluded coronary arter ies has improved significantly over the past decade\, yet the risks and be nefits to patients is not always clear and continues to be debated. This w ebinar will review the data\, indications and best practices for treating patients with CTOs\, and explore some of the controversies surrounding CTO PCI\, with particular attention to management of patients in the Veterans Affairs Health System.

\n

Key Objectives/Lear ning Outcomes:

\n
    \n
  1. Understand the data describing risks and benefits of CTO PCI and current ACC guidelines for r eferring for patients for CTO revascularization.
    2. \n
  2. Identify approp riate indications and best practices for CTO interventions\, and be able t o risk stratify patients based on anatomic complexity and patient comorbid ities.
    3. \n
  3. Apply best practices to managing patients with CTOs and u nderstand how to implement a successful CTO program\, especially in resour ce limited health systems.
