Description
Summary:The hybrid approach is a systematic algorithm-led percutaneous coronary intervention strategy based on the identification of key anatomical features on coronary angiography to treat chronic total occlusions. The aims of this approach are to provide a standardised tool for physician training and programme development, avoiding futile strategies to improve safety, procedural success and reduce the contrast and radiation required to complete the case.
