Minimalistic hybrid approach for the percutaneous treatment of chronic coronary total occlusions: An in‐depth analysis of the whole algorithm

The minimalistic hybrid approach (MHA) is an algorithm to perform chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The current study aims to evaluate the distribution of patients among the five different treatment strategies, the different techniques used in each strategy, the overall procedural success, and the safety of the MHA algorithm.
