Procedural Success Prediction Scoring Systems Used in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions for Chronic Total Occlusions: A Systematic Evaluation.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Data suggest that patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) could have better outcomes than those treated with optimal medical therapy alone. We aimed to systematically review dedicated scoring systems used to predict successful PCI in patients with CTO. (2) Methods: Electronic databases of MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, and Cochrane were searched. (3) Results: 32 studies were included. We provided insights into all available predictive models of PCI success in CTO including predictive performance, validations, and comparisons between different scores and models' limitations. Considering the differences in the population included, coronary lesions, and techniques applied across clinical studies, the most used score
