“…The degree of stenosis of a coronary artery is an important indicator of CHD severity that plays a key role in treatment decision making. Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is observed in around 30-50% of patients undergoing coronary angiography (5), and until recently was managed preferentially with CABG rather than PCI due to the perceived limited success rate of PCI. Although PCI for CTO has had a steep learning curve (6), it is now recognized that the procedural success rate of PCI can reach around 90% in experienced centers (7)(8)(9).…”

“…It is helpful in saving dying cardiomyocytes, improving cardiac function, reducing mortality, and improving the quality of life and prognosis [6]. However, PCI can relieve stenosis only [7,8]. If the risk factors of coronary heart disease continue to exist, patients could still have myocardial infarction and cardiogenic death after the operation, and they need to be hospitalized again [9].…”
