Angiographic characteristics and long‐term outcomes of single‐vessel chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with and without previous myocardial infarction
Abstract:Objective: This study evaluated the angiographic characteristics and clinical outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients with and without a history of myocardial infarction (MI).Background: The pathogenesis of CTO and myocardial viability are different in cases with or without previous MI. However, the lesion characteristics and clinical outcomes are unclear for these two groups.Methods: We reviewed consecutive patients who underwent single-vessel CTO PCI … Show more
