  • Acute, in-Hospital Outcome of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for In-Stent Chronic Total Occlusion

    Highlights

    • Lesion lengths of in-stent CTO were longer than in de-novo CTO alongside with implanted stent lengths and their diameter
    • Examination and fluoroscopy time were longer in patients with in-stent CTO and the amount of contrast medium was higher
    • Overall success rates were comparable between the two group of patients
    • Acute procedural complications were rare and showed no statistically significant difference

    Abstract

    Background

    Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of total chronic total occlusion (CTO) still remains a major challenge in interventional cardiologyRecanalization of in-stent CTO (IS-CTO) is associated with inferior success rates. This present study aims to comparatively evaluate the acute outcome of patients with IS-CTO and de novo CTO.
