Association of Annual Operator Volume With the Outcomes of Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

We compared the outcomes of traditional rCART vs guide-catheter extension rCART vs cases in which both techniques were used (combined rCART) in patients with successful retrograde CTO crossing in a contemporary multicenter CTO-PCI registry.

We compared the outcomes of...
