Project description:IntroductionPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high risk of contrast-induced nephropathy and resulting progression of CKD to need for renal replacement therapy. Chronic total occlusions (CTO) PCI is increasingly utilized in the treatment of refractory stable angina and ischaemic heart failure. Recent studies have described the feasibility of 'minimal' or 'zero' contrast PCI by employing intravascular imaging and intra-coronary physiology to guide successful stent implantation with resolution of ischaemia. We extended these techniques to CTO lesions via the retrograde approach.Case presentationTwo patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤15 mL/min who presented with angina symptoms and had subsequent positive stress tests were referred for CTO-PCI. The patients had diagnostic angiography with minimal contrast. After a recovery period, the patients underwent successful retrograde zero contrast CTO-PCI with the use of adjunctive intravascular ultrasound imaging.DiscussionThe described reports are the first two successful attempts at zero contrast retrograde procedures and demonstrate the feasibility of imaging and physiology-guided retrograde PCI without contrast administration in two patients with significant coronary artery disease requiring intervention. When indicated, zero contrast PCI offers the ability to treat obstructive coronary disease without worsening renal function in patients with severe CKD.

Project description:BackgroundRevascularisation of a chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) impacts the coronary physiology of the remote myocardial territory.AimsThis study aimed to evaluate the intrinsic effect of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on changes in absolute perfusion in remote myocardium.MethodsA total of 164 patients who underwent serial [15O]H2O positron emission tomography (PET) perfusion imaging at baseline and three months after successful single-vessel CTO PCI were included to evaluate changes in hyperaemic myocardial blood flow (hMBF) and coronary flow reserve (CFR) in the remote myocardium supplied by both non-target coronary arteries.ResultsPerfusion indices in CTO and remote myocardium showed a positive correlation before (resting MBF: r=0.84, hMBF: r=0.75, and CFR: r=0.77, p<0.01 for all) and after (resting MBF: r=0.87, hMBF: r=0.87, and CFR: r=0.81, p<0.01 for all) CTO PCI. Absolute increases in hMBF and CFR were observed in remote myocardium following CTO revascularisation (from 2.29±0.67 to 2.48±0.75 mL·min-1·g-1 and from 2.48±0.76 to 2.74±0.85, respectively, p<0.01 for both). Improvements in remote myocardial perfusion were largest in patients with a higher increase in hMBF (β 0.58, 95% CI: 0.48-0.67, p<0.01) and CFR (β 0.54, 95% CI: 0.44-0.64, p<0.01) in the CTO territory, independent of clinical, angiographic and procedural characteristics.ConclusionsCTO revascularisation resulted in an increase in remote myocardial perfusion. Furthermore, the quantitative improvement in hMBF and CFR in the CTO territory was independently associated with the absolute perfusion increase in remote myocardial regions. As such, CTO PCI may have a favourable physiologic impact beyond the intended treated myocardium.

Project description:Introduction: The number of chronic total occlusion (CTO) revascularization procedures has continuously increased, obtaining better results in recent years. However, there are few data regarding long-term outcomes and no comparisons to planned complex non-CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We included all patients undergoing planned complex PCI. Our main objective was to compare a combined endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization at the long-term follow-up of CTO PCI versus planned complex non-CTO PCI. We compared the groups using multivariable Cox regression and performed a propensity score matching analysis to control the baseline characteristics. We repeated the analysis for the separate components of the primary endpoint. Results: From January 2018 to June 2023, 1394 complex coronary PCIs were performed at our center. After excluding 393 non-planned cases, 201 CTO PCIs and 800 non-CTO PCIs were included. The mean follow-up was 2.5 ± 1.5 years. The composite endpoint occurred in 23 (11.6%) CTO PCIs and 219 (28.2%) planned non-CTO PCIs. The multivariable Cox regression using the CTO group as the reference showed a lower risk for the primary outcome (HR: 0.59; 95% CI 0.37-0.95; p = 0.031). After matching, a total of 195 adequately balanced pairs were obtained. The CTO group presented a lower risk for the primary combined outcome (HR: 0.46; 95% CI 0.27-0.76; p = 0.003). Conclusions: In patients undergoing planned complex PCI, those in the CTO group presented a reduced risk of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization at the end of the follow-up.

Project description:BackgroundDyspnea is a common angina equivalent that adversely affects quality of life, but its prevalence in patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs) and predictors of its improvement after CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are unknown. We examined the prevalence of dyspnea and predictors of its improvement among patients selected for CTO PCI.Methods and resultsIn the OPEN CTO registry (Outcomes, Patient health status, and Efficiency iN Chronic Total Occlusion) of 12 US experienced centers, 987 patients undergoing CTO PCI (procedure success 82%) were assessed for dyspnea with the Rose Dyspnea Scale at baseline and 1 month after CTO PCI. Rose Dyspnea Scale scores range from 0 to 4 with higher scores indicating more dyspnea with common activities. A total of 800 (81%) reported some dyspnea at baseline with a mean (±SD) Rose Dyspnea Scale of 2.8±1.2. Dyspnea improvement was defined as a ≥1 point decrease in Rose Dyspnea Scale from baseline to 1 month. Predictors of dyspnea improvement were examined with a modified Poisson regression model. Patients with dyspnea were more likely to be female, obese, smokers, and to have more comorbidities and angina. Among patients with baseline dyspnea, 70% reported less dyspnea at 1 month after CTO PCI. Successful CTO PCI was associated with more frequent dyspnea improvement than failure, even after adjustment for other clinical variables. Anemia, depression, and lung disease were associated with less dyspnea improvement after PCI.ConclusionsDyspnea is a common symptom among patients undergoing CTO PCI and improves significantly with successful PCI. Patients with other potentially noncardiac causes of dyspnea reported less dyspnea improvement after CTO PCI.

Project description:ObjectivesTo examine the success and complication rates in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTO) caused by in-stent restenosis (ISR).BackgroundPCI for in-stent total occlusive disease has traditionally been associated with low success rates. We sought to examine angiographic and procedural outcomes of patients who underwent CTO PCI due to ISR using the novel "hybrid" algorithm, and compare them with patients with de novo CTOs.MethodsWe examined 521 consecutive patients who underwent CTO PCI at five high-volume PCI centers in the United States using the "hybrid" approach. Clinical, angiographic, and procedural outcomes were compared between CTOs due to ISR and de novo CTOs.ResultsThe target CTO was due to ISR in 57 of 521 patients (10.9%). Compared to patients with de novo CTOs, those with CTO due to ISR had higher frequency of diabetes (56.1% vs. 39.6%, P = 0.02) and less calcification (5.3% vs. 16.2%, P <0.001), but longer occlusion length [38 (29-55) vs. 30 (20-51), P = 0.04]. Technical success in the ISR and de novo group was 89.4% and 92.5% (P = 0.43), respectively; procedural success was 86.0% and 90.3% (P = 0.31), respectively; and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events was 3.5% and 2.2% (P = 0.63), respectively.ConclusionsUse of the "hybrid" approach to CTO PCI was associated with similarly high procedural success and similarly low major complication rates in patients with de novo and ISR CTOs.

Project description:BackgroundThe results of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO-PCI) trials are inconclusive. Therefore, we studied whether CTO-PCI leads to improvement of clinical endpoints and patient symptoms when combining all available randomised data.Methods and resultsThis meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO prior to starting. We performed a literature search and identified all randomised trials comparing CTO-PCI to optimal medical therapy alone (OMT). A total of five trials were included, comprising 1790 CTO patients, of whom 964 were randomised to PCI and 826 to OMT. The all-cause mortality was comparable between groups at 1‑year [risk ratio (RR) 1.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.50-5.80, p = 0.40] and at 4‑year follow-up (RR 1.14, 95% CI 0.38-3.40, p = 0.81). There was no difference in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) between groups at 1 year (RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.36-1.33, p = 0.27) and at 4 years (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.60-1.22, p = 0.38). Left ventricular function and volumes at follow-up were comparable between groups. However, the PCI group had fewer target lesion revascularisations (RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.15-0.52, p < 0.001) and was more frequently free of angina at 1‑year follow-up (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.50-0.84, p = 0.001), although the scores on the subscales of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire were comparable.ConclusionIn conclusion, in this meta-analysis of 1790 CTO patients, CTO-PCI did not lead to an improvement in survival or in MACE as reported at long-term follow-up of up to 4 years, or to improvement of left ventricular function. However, CTO-PCI resulted in less angina and fewer target lesion revascularisations compared to OMT.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTO) in the elderly (≥75 years) versus nonelderly and assess the impact of successful CTO-PCI in the elderly.MethodsPubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar databases were searched up to October 1, 2020. Mortality rates and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were compared between elderly and nonelderly patients and successful versus failed CTO-PCI in the elderly.ResultsEight studies were included. Meta-analysis indicated no statistically significant difference in the risk of in-hospital mortality (RR: 1.97 95% CI: 0.78, 4.96 I2 = 0% p = .15) but higher tendency of in-hospital MACE (RR: 2.30 95% CI: 0.99, 5.35 I2 = 49% p = .05) in the elderly group. Risk of long-term mortality (RR: 3.79 95% CI: 2.84, 5.04 I2 = 41% p < .00001) and long-term MACE (RR: 1.53 95% CI: 1.14, 2.04 I2 = 80% p = .004) were significantly increased in the elderly versus nonelderly. Elderly patients had a significantly reduced odds of successful PCI as compared to nonelderly patients (OR: 0.63 95% CI: 0.54, 0.73 I2 = 1% p < .00001). Successful CTO-PCI was associated with reduction in long-term mortality (HR: 0.51 95% CI: 0.34, 0.77 I2 = 27% p = .001) and MACE (HR: 0.60 95% CI: 0.37, 0.97 I2 = 53% p = .04) as compared to failed PCI in elderly.ConclusionsElderly patients may have a tendency of higher in-hospital MACE with significantly increased long-term mortality and MACE after CTO-PCI. The success of PCI is significantly lower in the elderly. In elderly patients with successful PCI, the risk of long-term mortality and MACE is significantly reduced.

Project description:We aimed to compare quality of life benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTO) with non-CTO PCI.Data quantifying the benefits of PCI of CTO are inconsistent.We leveraged a 10-center prospective PCI registry including Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) assessment at the time of PCI and in follow-up. We propensity matched attempted CTO PCIs with up to 10 non-CTO PCIs. The primary analysis compared changes between baseline and 6 months in SAQ Physical Limitation (PL), Quality of Life (QoL); Angina Frequency (AF) scores as well as the Rose Dyspnea scores (RDS) and the EQ5D Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Noninferiority was assessed for quality of life changes between CTO and non-CTO PCI.In 3,303 patients enrolled, 167 single-vessel CTOs were attempted; 147 (88%) were matched with 1,616 non-CTO PCI. Baseline PL (73.0 vs. 77.4, P?=?0.039) and VAS (66.4 vs. 70.8, P?=?0.005) scores were lower for CTO. There was no difference in AF, QoL, or RDS scores. At 6-month follow-up, all SAQ scores improved (P?<?0.05 vs. baseline for all) and were equivalent for CTO and Non-CTO (P?=?NS for all). VAS scores remained lower for CTO, but improved in both groups (P?<?0.05 vs. baseline for both). Formal noninferiority testing demonstrated that CTO PCI was not inferior to non-CTO PCI (P???0.02 for all).Symptoms, function, QoL, and dyspnea improve to the same degree following CTO PCI as compared with non-CTO PCI. Symptom relief supports CTO PCI to improve patients' quality of life.

Project description:Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are commonly encountered in patients with coronary artery disease. Compared to patients without coronary CTOs, those with CTO have worse clinical outcomes and lower likelihood of complete coronary revascularisation. Successful CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can significantly improve angina and improve left ventricular function. Although currently unproven, successful CTO PCI might also reduce the risk for arrhythmic events in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy, provide better tolerance of future acute coronary syndrome, and possibly improve survival. Evaluation by a heart team comprised of both interventional and non-interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons is important for determining the optimal revascularisation strategy in patients with coronary artery disease and CTOs. Ad hoc CTO PCI is generally not recommended, so as to allow sufficient time for (a) discussion with the patient about the indications, goals, risks, and alternatives to PCI; (b) careful procedural planning; and (c) contrast and radiation exposure minimisation. Use of drug-eluting stents is recommended for CTO PCI, given the lower rates of angiographic restenosis compared to bare metal stents.
