  • The rationale behind using intracoronary imaging in CTO PCI
  • Identify the ostium in stumpless occlusions
  • Guide reentry in subintimal tracks
  • Facilitate complete coverage
  • Optimise stent result with regards to apposition and expansion
  • The data supporting the use of IVUS in CTO PCI
