In-Hospital Outcomes of Contemporary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Chronic Total Occlusion

Abstract: Most CTO lesions can be safely and successfully treated with PCI utilizing contemporary advanced techniques. Invasiveness and potential risks of these strategies, which have been the greatest concerns of CTO treatment, may be acceptable in the majority of cases considering the actual incidences of related adverse events and the procedural success rates.

“…The success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions have been increased by the advancement of operator's skill, experience with intervention techniques (anterograde and retrograde approaches, wire manipulations techniques, and so on), and device technology (improved dedicated CTO guidewires, microcatheters, CTO balloons, and coronary stents) 1, 2, 3, 4. Several studies demonstrated that successful CTO intervention was associated with improved survival rates and angina symptom relief when compared with the failed CTO intervention 1, 4, 5, 6.…”

“…Angiographic CTO lesion characteristics are predictive of success rate and procedure time. [9][10][11] The multicenter Japanese CTO Registry 12 investigators developed the J-CTO score as a scoring system to grade the difficulty in crossing a CTO within 30 minutes and overall success rate. 13 Thus, it might be a valuable tool for some operators dealing with the challenge of patient selection for CTO PCI and for schedule management.…”

“…Moderate proximal vessel tortuosity was defined as the presence of at least 2 bends >70°or 1 bend >90°and severe tortuosity as 2 bends >90°or 1 bend >120°in the CTO vessel. The Japanese Chronic Total Occlusion score was calculated as described by Morino et al 26 The Progress CTO score was calculated as described by Christopoulos et al 22 Technical success was defined as successful CTO revascularization with achievement of <30% residual diameter stenosis within the treated segment and restoration of Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction grade 3 antegrade flow. Procedural success was defined as achievement of technical success with no inhospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE).…”
