Abstract Background: Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are correlated with increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes. The optimal treatment strategy for CTO has not been well established. We sought to examine the impact of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on long-term clinical outcome in the real world.Methods: A total of 592 consecutive patients with CTO in Beijing Friendship Hospital from June 2017 to December 2019 were enrolled, 29 patients were excluded due to Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). After exclusion, 563 patients were divided into the no-revascularized group (CTO-NR group, n=263) and successful revascularized group (CTO-R group, n=300). The primary endpoint was cardiac death; Secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), a composite of all-cause death, cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, re-hospitalization, heart failure, and stroke.Results: Percent of Diabetes mellitus (53.2% vs 39.7), Chronic kidney disease (8.7% vs 3.7%), CABG history (7.6% vs 1%), three vessel disease(96.2% vs 90%) and left main coronary artery disease (25.1% vs 13.7%) was significantly higher in the CTO-NR group than in success PCI group (all P<0.05). Moreover, the CTO-NR group has lower EF (0.58±0.11 vs 0.61±0.1, p=0.001) and FS (0.31±0.07 vs 0.33±0.07, p=0.002). At a median follow-up of 12 months, CTO revascularization was superior to CTO no-revascularization in terms of cardiac death (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 0.27, 95% conference interval [CI] 0.11-0.64). The superiority of CTO revascularization was consistent for MACCE (HR: 0.55, 95% CI 0.35-0.79). At multivariable Cox hazards regression analysis, CTO revascularization remains one of the independent predictors of lower risk of cardiac death and MACCE.Conclusions: Successful revascularization by PCI may bring more clinical benefits. The presence of LVEF<0.5 and LM-disease was associated with an incidence of cardiac death; CTO revascularization was a protected predictor of cardiac death.

Abstract Background Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) occur in 15–35% of patients with significant coronary artery disease who undergo coronary angiography. The rationale of percutaneous CTO revascularization is the improvement in survival and in quality of life, mainly reducing angina symptoms and increasing LVEF. The clinical impact of target vessel has been investigated in previous studies, with controversial results. Purpose The aim of this study, based on a large scale single-center registry, is to determine the impact of different target vessel successful CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on long-term survival in a “real world” population. Methods All consecutive patients who attempted a CTO-PCI from 2004 to 2015 in our Hospital department were included in a CTO-PCI Registry. CTO was defined as a coronary obstruction with TIMI flow grade 0 with an estimated duration of >3 months. Patients with multiple CTO were excluded. Long-term mortality was assessed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox multivariable analysis. Results A total of 1235 patients attempted PCI for CTO; patients were stratified into two main groups according to the CTO carrying vessel: LAD-CTO (n=360) and not-LAD CTO (n=875). Cardiac survival rate at 5 years was lower in LAD-CTO patients compared with not-LAD CTO patients (85±3% vs. 90±2%; p=0.001), but when a successful CTO-PCI was achieved, there was no statistical difference between the two groups (89±3% vs. 93±1%; p=0.095). On the other side, a failure of the CTO PCI in LAD vessel was associated with a worse outcome (67±8% vs. 85±4%; p=0.001). Completeness of revascularization carried a significant survival benefit independently from the target vessel CTO (LAD CTO group 94±2% vs. not-LAD CTO group 95±1%; p=0.256), but an incomplete revascularization was associated with a worse outcome in LAD-CTO patients (67±6% vs. 81±4%; p<0.001). By multivariable Cox analysis, age >75 years, diabetes, left ventricular ejection fraction <40%, complete revascularization and LAD-CTO were independently related to death. Conclusions In a “real world” population, LAD-CTOs were associated with a lower cardiac survival rate when compared to other vessel CTOs; however, this survival gap was no longer significant when a successful CTO PCI was performed. The survival benefit was even greater when a complete coronary revascularization was achieved.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to determine the difference in effects of beta-blockers on long-term clinical outcomes between ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients with mid-range ejection fraction (mrEF) and those with reduced ejection fraction (rEF). Methods Data were assessed of 3508 consecutive IHD patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 1997 and 2011. Among them, 316 patients with mrEF (EF = 40–49%) and 201 patients with rEF (EF < 40%) were identified. They were assigned to groups according to users and non-users of beta-blockers and effects of beta-blockers were assessed between mrEF and rEF patients, separately. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death and non-fatal acute coronary syndrome. Results The median follow-up period was 5.5 years in mrEF patients and 4.3 years in rEF patients. Cumulative event-free survival was significantly lower in the group with beta-blockers than in the group without beta-blockers in rEF (p = 0.003), whereas no difference was observed in mrEF (p = 0.137) between those with and without beta-blockers. In the multivariate analysis, use of beta-blockers was associated with reduction in clinical outcomes in patients with rEF (hazard ratio (HR), 0.59; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.36–0.97; p = 0.036), whereas no association was observed among those with mrEF (HR 0.74; 95% CI 0.49–1.10; p = 0.137). Conclusions Our observational study showed that use of beta-blockers was not associated with long-term clinical outcomes in IHD patients with mrEF, whereas a significant association was observed in those with rEF.
