Angiographic factors and multidetector computed tomography analysis: its association in the successful percutaneous coronary treatment of chronic total occlusions

Introduction

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions remains a technical challenge due to the lower rate of success compared with the PCI of non-CTO lesions. Identifying the different predictors of failure could lead to a better selection of patients, with a higher rate of PCI success. We design this study to evaluate the multidetector computed tomography (MCT) and its association with prognostic angiographic factors in the successful PCI of a CTO lesion.

Methods

This is a single-center prostpective study of 69 consecutive patients with a CTO lesion in whom PCI was indicated. All went through MCT analysis before PCI.
