Health Status Outcomes in Older Adults Undergoing Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT: Background Although chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are common in older adults, they are less likely to be offered CTO percutaneous coronary intervention for angina relief than younger adults. The health status impact of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention in adults aged ≥75 years has not been studied. We sought to compare technical success rates and angina-related health status outcomes at 12 months between adults aged ≥75 and <75 years in the OPEN-CTO (Outcomes, Patient Health Status, and Efficiency in Chronic Total Occlusion) registry. Methods and Results Angina-related health status was assessed with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (score range 0-100, higher scores denote less angina). Technical success rates were compared using hierarchical modified Poisson regression, and 12-mont
