Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusions vs. Planned Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Long-Term Outcomes and Mortality.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The number of chronic total occlusion (CTO) revascularization procedures has continuously increased, obtaining better results in recent years. However, there are few data regarding long-term outcomes and no comparisons to planned complex non-CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We included all patients undergoing planned complex PCI. Our main objective was to compare a combined endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization at the long-term follow-up of CTO PCI versus planned complex non-CTO PCI. We compared the groups using multivariable Cox regression and performed a propensity score matching analysis to control the baseline characteristics. We repeated the analysis for the separate components of the p
