Abstract :
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO) still remains a major challenge in interventional
cardiology. *is case describes a complex PCI of the left main coronary artery and of a CTO of the right coronary artery using
a minimal extracorporeal circulation system (MECC) in a patient with an aortic valve bioprothesis in extraanatomic position. It
illustrates that complex recanalization strategies can be solved combining it with mechanical circulatory support technologies.
