The new ProEducar Educational Newsletter is out for all fellows, interventional trainees, and specialists in hemodynamics seeking to be up to date in their professional practice.
This is a special issue on chronic total occlusion (CTO), one of the main current challenges for interventional cardiologists. This comprehensive, extensive work directed by Dr. Gustavo Pedernera includes review articles, relevant clinical cases, interviews to experts, and step-by-step techniques developed by world-renowned Latin American interventional cardiologists.
The newsletter encompasses from revascularization indications to complex revascularization techniques.
Dr. Mario Araya and Dr. Christian Backhouse Q. summarize revascularization indications, and Dr. Marcelo Abud comments on one of the latest articles on current evidence and the benefits of CTO PCI.
