Interventions for complex lesions and chronic total occlusions (CTO) are among the most challenging procedures, requiring highly skilled and experienced intervention teams. Recognizing the critical need for advanced expertise in this area, PT Medical, in collaboration with the University Medical Center, organized the CTO Live Course on November 8–9, 2024, at Mai House Saigon.
The CTO Live Course aimed to provide in-depth knowledge on CTO interventions through a comprehensive program designed to be practical, current, and applicable. Participants had the opportunity to explore the latest trends in CTO interventions, learn fundamental and advanced techniques, and familiarize themselves with the devices required to address complex cases. A highlight of the event was the detailed discussion of 7 live case interventions, discussed by experts in interventional cardiology, offering valuable insights and hands-on learning opportunities.
In addition to the clinical content, PT Medical showcased specialized CTO intervention devices from Asahi, including guidewires and microcatheters. These devices, designed to optimize CTO procedures, attracted significant interest and positive feedback from the attending medical professionals.
The CTO Live Course not only served as a platform for knowledge exchange but also fostered connections among physicians, paving the way for future collaborations in the field of interventional cardiology in Vietnam. The event concluded successfully, with a large number of attendees and overwhelmingly positive feedback, affirming its importance and impact in advancing the quality of care for patients with CTO.
