Longitudinal results from a dedicated chronic total coronary occlusions percutaneous coronary intervention program-a single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To provide insight into the longitudinal (> 10 years) results of a dedicated CTO PCI program in a single center.

Background

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions (CTO) requires substantial operator experience. Dedicated CTO programs aim to increase technical success rates through sufficient case volume. However, longitudinal data beyond 10 years on such programs are scarce.

Methods

We included 1185 patients who underwent CTO PCI in the Amsterdam University Medical Center between 2013 and 2024. Technical CTO PCI success was defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade 3 and < 30% residual stenosis. Procedural success was defined as technical success in the absence of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events
