Summary

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) can be challenging, especially if the CTOs are balloon uncrossable or balloon undilatable. We present a case illustrating that, orbital atherectomy may need to be combined with intravascular lithotripsy for CTOs that are both balloon uncrossable and undilatable.
