Abstract
Since the publication of the hybrid algorithm there has been rapid development of new specialty wires, microcatheters, guide extensions, and low-profile balloons to facilitate successful coronary chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention. With development of new devices, it is best to categorize them by design and intended task. This enables a safe and systematic approach to coronary chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention and avoid overlap and waste. This article serves as a guide for tool selection for the interventional cardiologist performing coronary chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention.
