Interventional like impella device like pigtel, TAVI for AS patients with CCF, spinal cord or vagal stimulation, ablation of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in Heart Failure, and stem cell therapy.
Dr. Prakashvir Parikh spoke on “CTO Intervention – Rationale & Techniques”. He described techniques of angioplasty in CTO when the intra segment flow through the blockade is zero and lesion is more than 3 months old. He observed that CTO is seen in 10 to 15 % of all the angiograms. Over 80 percents have CCS>2 symptoms. In most cases left ventricular function is preserved. Recanalization is attempted only in 10 % cases. Success rate is 70%. Presence of CTO is main cause for referral for Bypass surgery. Though collaterals are present they don’t compensate and are like having 90 percent blocaklades. They at the most compensate up to 40 percent of pressure of an open artery. He also dispelled many myths about CTO like, the CTO is well collateralised hence there is minimal impact on quality of life and prognosis. CTO outcomes are more benign than non CTO coronary disease. He later described how these tight lesions pose problem of opening and how they are over come with techniques and technology.
