CTO-PCI

CTO-PCI (Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) is a minimally invasive procedure to open a completely blocked coronary artery, which supplies blood to the heart. Using thin catheters and specialized tools inserted through blood vessels, cardiologists carefully navigate around the blockage to restore blood flow. This procedure relieves symptoms like chest pain and improves heart function. While complex, CTO-PCI can significantly benefit patients with difficult-to-reach blockages when performed by experienced specialists, offering an alternative to more invasive surgeries.
