Since its inception in December 2006, the EuroCTO Club has strived to provide the
framework for state-of-the-art chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary …

Background: The study focuses on the evolution of practice, procedural outcomes, and in-
hospital complications of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention in …

Objectives To determine whether successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using
drug‐eluting stents (DESs) have beneficial effects on long‐term outcomes in patients with …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic impact of post-procedural
troponin T increase and mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention …

In this substudy of the ADAPT-DES trial Généreux et al. compared two years outcomes
according to the presence or absence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) as assessed by …

Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are routinely encountered during coronary angiography, but
subsequent revascularization rates are low. This has likely been driven by a historical belief …

In this study, we aimed to investigate the predictive value of early systolic lengthening
duration in differentiating myocardial ischemia from scar tissue in patients with chronic …

Hybrid imaging for ischemic heart disease refers to the fusion of information from a single or
usually from multiple cardiovascular imaging modalities enabling synergistic assessment of …

Contemporary literature reveals a range of cardiac complications in patients who receive the
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO). This study …

Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are commonly encountered in patients undergoing coronary
