Ep. 3 | CT-guided CTO PCI w/ Drs. Yader Sandoval & Manos Brilakis | The Coronary Corner

Subscribe to our educational content and resources by visiting us at https://systole.live. In Episode 3 of The Coronary Corner Podcast by SYSTOLE: CT-guided CTO PCI, hosted by Drs. Yader Sandoval and Emmanouil Brilakis, the discussion centers on the evolving role of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in CTO PCI, emphasizing its value beyond diagnosis—extending from initial assessment to case triage, shared decision-making, and pre-procedural planning. They explore how CCTA can clarify lesion ambiguity, define proximal cap morphology, assess calcium burden and vessel course, and guide tailored procedural strategies. The episode also highlights key evidence supporting CT’s application in CTOs, including the CT-CTO trial (JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2021). They review validated CT-based risk models such as CT-derived J-CTO and CT RECTOR, and discuss the 2024 SCAI/SCCT expert consensus document, which outlines the role of CCTA in complex coronary intervention planning. Together, these insights emphasize CCTA as a valuable adjunct to improve procedural success through enhanced pre-procedural planning in CT-guided CTO PCI.
