Real world perspective of coronary chronic total occlusion in third world countries: A tertiary care centre study from northern India.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence, clinical characteristics, angiographic profile and predictors of outcome for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) in a tertiary referral centre of north India.

Background

There is no data on the prevalence and very few reports on clinical characteristics, angiographic profile and outcome of PCI in CTO from India.

Methods

Retrospective analysis was done for the data of 12,020 patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) between January 2018 to January 2019 at our centre. Detailed baseline clinical, angiographic and revascularization data was collected. Outcome of CTO PCI was also noted. All baseline parameters were analysed for predicting the outcome of CT
