Recanalisation of coronary chronic total occlusions with new techniques including the retrograde approach via collaterals

TLDR
A high degree of success with low in-hospital complications comparable with conventional PCI data can be expected in the hands of experienced CTO operators and a second try with a retrograde approach after antegrade failure should be considered.
Abstract
Objective Percutaneous treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) remains one of the major challenges in interventional cardiology. The strategies of recanalisation in CTO have changed drastically due the development of new techniques such as the retrograde approach via collaterals. In this single-centre experience we sought to analyse the success rates with the use of different CTO techniques, the complication rates, and we evaluated predictors of failed CTO recanalisation attempts.

Subintimal Dissection/Reentry Strategies in Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion Interventions

TL;DR: The chronic total occlusions subintimal dissection/reentry techniques are described in detail, the related terminology is clarified, and the published studies in this area and the current gaps of knowledge are summarized.

Successful Recanalization of Native Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion Is Not Associated With Improved Long-Term Survival

TL;DR: It is found that successful CTO-PCI compared with failed PCI was associated with significantly less subsequent coronary artery bypass grafting and this finding was consistent regardless of whether the patient had a multivessel disease including CTO or only had a single CTO disease.

Procedural outcomes and long-term survival among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention of a chronic total occlusion in native coronary arteries: a 20-year experience

TL;DR: A successfully revascularized CTO confers a significant 10-year survival advantage compared with failed revascularization and success rates have continued to improve without an accompanying increase in MACE rates.

Immediate results and one-year clinical outcome after percutaneous coronary interventions in chronic total occlusions: data from a multicenter, prospective, observational study (TOAST-GISE).

TL;DR: At one-year follow-up, patients with successful PCI of a CTO had a significantly better clinical outcome than those whose PCI was unsuccessful, and in a high percentage of CTOs with a low incidence of complications.

Stenting in chronic coronary occlusion (SICCO): A randomized, controlled trial of adding stent implantation after successful angioplasty☆

TL;DR: Stent implantation improved long-term angiographic and clinical results after PTCA of chronic coronary occlusions and is thus recommended regardless of the primary PTC a result.

Percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusions: the Thoraxcenter experience 1992-2002.

TL;DR: Successful percutaneous revascularization of a CTO leads to a significantly improved survival rate and a reduction in major adverse events at 5 years, and new technologies must focus on a safe approach to successful recanalization.

Trends in outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusions: a 25-year experience from the Mayo Clinic.

TL;DR: Investigation of trends in procedural success, in-hospital, and long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusions over the last 25 years from a single PCI registry found procedural success rates for CTO have not improved over time in the stent era, highlighting the need to develop new techniques and devices.
