Dr. Bill Lombardi is a world-renowned expert in Complex Coronary Disease Therapies, performing over 500 interventions a year, including 250 CTOs.
He continues to develop novel chronic total occlusion (CTO) techniques and technologies, including the inception of a “hybrid algorithm” that facilitates successful, reproducible outcomes in CTO and complex lesion PCI. He has been involved with over 20 new technologies to improve PCI, including guide wires, micro-catheters, specialty balloons and novel approaches to reduce radiation and orthopedic injuries to operators.
