Understanding CTOs

CapBuster is exhibiting at the Amputation Prevention Symposium in Lugano, Switzerland on the 10th – 12th October.

Understanding CTOs

Understanding CTO’s is a searchable database curated by CapBuster on all things Chronic Total Occlusion. Here you can find topical peer-reviewed literature for Peripheral & Coronary CTO’s. We hope you will use this resource to better understand the complexities of CTO’s, reinforcing the benefits of the CapBuster technology.
