First report of the use of long‐tapered sirolimus‐eluting coronary stent for the treatment of chronic total occlusions with the hybrid algorithm

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) usually coexist with diffusely diseased coronary segments proximal and/or distal to the CTO segment. During percutaneous treatment of CTO, multiple overlapping stents are often needed to treat these long lesions.
