Prognostic significance of occlusion length in recanalized chronic total occlusion lesion: a retrospective cohort study with 5-year follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study sought to investigate the relationship between occlusion length and long-term outcomes of patients with recanalised chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion.

Design

A retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Disease, Beijing, China PARTICIPANTS: Consecutive patients with successfully recanalised CTO were included from January 2010 to December 2013.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The primary endpoint of the present study was a composite event of all-cause death and myocardial infarction (MI). The secondary endpoints included target lesion revascularisation (TLR) and target vessel revascularisation (TVR).

Results

A total of 1987 patients were included and 1801 (90.6%) subjects complete
