Dr. Raja Hatem performed a chronic total occlusion angioplasty at Sacré‑Cœur Hospital in Montreal on September 29, 2026, and transmitted the procedure live to fellow cardiologists.
The broadcast reached about 150 cardiologists from across the country, allowing them to observe the ultra‑specialized technique in real time.
Chronic total occlusion angioplasty restores fully blocked arteries without open‑chest surgery, and the live stream was intended to educate doctors about this advanced method.
