Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusions
I mpasses are common in everyday life. When they occur in coronary arteries as chronic total occlusions (CTOs), they may be difficult to treat. Successful treatment of CTOs sometimes requires a nonconformist approach based on “negative thinking,” which is described in philosophical circles as the mindset that “negates” the possibility of failure and replaces it with the potentiality of success ...
متن کاملRetraction Note: Meta-analysis of the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention on chronic total coronary occlusions
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) is the last stage of coronary artery atherosclerosis. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a therapeutic procedure used to recanalize vessels with total occlusion. However, successful recanalization of CTO is still not optimal, and the key influence factors are still uncertainty. Therefore, a scientific evaluation on the effec...
متن کاملPredictors of successful percutaneous coronary intervention in chronic total coronary occlusions
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total coronary occlusions (CTOs) is one of the most challenging procedures of interventional cardiology and is associated with increased risk of significant complications. However, debate continues in regard to which factors adversely influence the success rate of PCI and whether the benefits of revascularization of CTO outweigh t...
متن کاملChronic Total Coronary Occlusions, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, and Mortality: A "Hybrid Approach" to Interpretation.
C hronic total coronary occlusions (CTOs) represent one of the final frontiers in the evolution of revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Although CTO revascularization relieves symptoms, reduces ischemic burden, improves left ventricular systolic function, and attenuates remodeling, convincing proof of improved survival remains elusive (1–3). Ongoing randomized trials...
متن کاملPercutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty of Chronic Total Occlusions
Background. Angioplasty of chronically totally occluded vessels has been associated with a success rate well below and restenosis rate well above that for angioplasty of stenosed segments. However, long-term clinical outcome after successful revascularization of a chronically totally occluded vessel has not been reported in detail. Methods and Results. Accordingly, data for 480 patients undergo...
