The 2022 edition will be conducted in close collaboration with the German working group on interventional cardiology of the German Cardiac society (AGIK). We will together have a special focus on presenting live case transmissions performed by world renowned operators, but also on a structured guide from basics to advanced techniques for beginners and those who want to perfect their skills to illustrate the progress of CTO recanalization techniques and enhance the discussion in an interactive way. The focus of these educative presentations will be to illustrate the steps required to build a CTO program, select the right patients, the right technique and the right strategy.
This will be complemented by simulators provided by our industry partners who showcase their latest product developments. Aside from the practical demonstration of techniques, we also provide an interactive forum to present cases by the participants in a challenging case contest hosted by the Board of the EuroCTO club.
We look forward to meeting all of you in Mainz on the banks of the river Rhine close to Frankfurt International Airport.
