Brief Summary

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) present a significant challenge in the field of interventional cardiology. These complex lesions, characterized by complete blockage of a coronary artery for a prolonged duration, often require specialized techniques and strategies to achieve successful revascularization.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of participants with technical success of CTO revascularization

    Successful CTO recanalization with \<20% residual stenosis within the treated segment and restoration of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade 3 antegrade flow, without side branch loss

    1 day

  • Number of participants with collateral channel tracking success

    retrograde guidewire crossing the CC to reach the distal cap of CTO segment.

    1 day

  • Number of participants with major adverse cerebral cardiovascular events

    Death, CV death, myocardial infarction, stroke, repeat revascularization

    5 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of participants with periprocedural myocardial infarction

    1 day

  • Number of participants with periprocedural complications

    1 day

Study Arms (3)

Successful CTO intervention

Successful CTO intervention, subgrouped by strategies, ex. antegrade or retrograde approach

Procedure: Percutaneous coronary intervention of coronary chronic total occlusion

Failed CTO intervention

Failed CTO intervention, subgrouped by strategies, ex. antegrade or retrograde approach

Procedure: Percutaneous coronary intervention of coronary chronic total occlusion

No CTO intervention

CTO was not intervened

Interventions

Coronary CTO was identified by coronary angiography, and its revascularization was attempted by either antegrade, retrograde or both approach.

Also known as: PCI to CTO
Failed CTO interventionSuccessful CTO intervention
