“This is a concise book on percutaneous coronary interventions for chronic total occlusion (CTO). … It is a good reference and a guide for interventional cardiologists, and interventional cardiology fellows. The book is well organized, concise, and appropriately detailed. Complex concepts are presented in a way that's easy to understand, complemented by tables and high‐quality illustrations that further orient readers and enable easy recollection of salient points.” (Mohammed A Ahmed, Doody's Book Reviews, August 16, 2019)
