The research aimed to evaluate the impact of a successful Percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusions (CTO-PCI) on long-term MACE (Major Cardiovascular Events), symptoms, survival, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) and myocardial ischemia up-to-8-years follow-up.
With this observational and prospective study, this research aimed to evaluate the impact of a successful CTO-PCI on long-term MACE (Major Cardiovascular Events), symptoms, survival, LVEF and myocardial ischemia up-to-8-years follow-up.

CTO-PCI is a procedure of interventional cardiology attempting revascularisation of the CTO
University Hospital
Montpellier, France
Major cardiovascular events (MACE)
Incidence of composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and new target vessel revascularization
Time frame: Up to 8 years
Non combined MACE components
Incidence of Cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and new target vessel revascularization
Time frame: Up to 8 years
In-hospital events
Incidence of Procedural complications including death, periprocedural MI, coronary perforation, pericardial tamponade requiring drainage, local vascular complications, major bleeding, contrast induced nephropathy, stroke
Time frame: Up to one week
Restenosis
Incidence of Restenosis Defined as a greater than 50% diameter stenosis at follow-up angiogram of the first dilated total occlusion. Reocclusion was defined as recurrent total occlusion of the first dilated total occlusion.
Time frame: Up to 8 years
Ischemic burden
Comparison between pre and post-CTO ischemic tests
Time frame: Up to 8 years
Stent thrombosis
Incidence of stent thrombosis defined as any myocardial infarction with angiographic confirmation of in-stent thrombus or unexplained death
Time frame: Within 30 days after the procedure
LVEF
Percentage of Increase or decrease in LVEF after the CTO procedure compared with baseline LVEF
Time frame: Up to 8 years
