Abstract Background: Differences in outcomes for women and men after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients remain controversial. Herein, we compared the clinical outcomes by sex in CTO patients undergoing PCI.Methods: A total of 563 consecutive patients (19% women) who were diagnosed with CTO at a single center in China from June 2017 to December 2019 were included in this study. 300 patients were revascularized by PCI and 263 were not revascularized. The clinical outcomes of these patients stratified by sex were examined. The primary endpoints included the risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE); the secondary endpoint was cardiac death; Hazard ratios were generated using multivariable Cox regression.Results: Women represented 19% of the cohort (107/563 patients). Women have lower mean body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference compared with men, however, the proportion of hypertension, diabetes, and previous coronary heart disease is higher in female patients. At 2-year follow up, there were no differences between men and women for MACCE (15.8% vs 20.6%, p=0.234) and cardiac death (3.1% vs 5.6%, p=0.202). Predictors of CTO recanalization revealed that Age<65years, absence of prior CABG, no history of DM and non-triple vessel were predictors of CTO recanalization. Sex did not predict recanalization in this regression model. Successful CTO PCI was associated with reduced MACCE.Conclusion: Our study suggests an equal benefit of CTO recanalization with a marked reduction in MACCE in women and men alike. Further dedicated studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Methods A total of 563 consecutive patients (19% women) who were diagnosed with CTO at a single center in China from June 2017 to December 2019 were included in this study. Three hundred patients were revascularized by PCI, and 263 were not revascularized. The clinical outcomes of these patients stratified by sex were examined. The primary endpoints included the risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE); the secondary endpoint was cardiac death; hazard ratios were generated using multivariable Cox regression. Results Women represented 19% of the cohort (107/563 patients). Women have lower mean body mass index (BMI) and abdominal circumference compared with men; however, the proportion of hypertension, diabetes, and previous coronary heart disease is higher in female patients. At 2-year follow-up, there were no differences between men and women for MACCE (15.8% vs 20.6%, p = 0.234) and cardiac death (3.1% vs 5.6%, p = 0.202). Predictors of CTO recanalization revealed that age < 65 years, absence of prior CABG, no history of DM, and non-triple vessel were predictors of CTO recanalization. Sex did not predict recanalization in this regression model. Successful CTO PCI was associated with reduced MACCE. Conclusion Our study suggests an equal benefit of CTO recanalization with a marked reduction in MACCE in women and men alike. Further dedicated studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract Background As an initial treatment strategy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) did not show mid-term survival benefits compared with optimal medical therapy (OMT). Purpose To compare 10-year clinical outcomes between OMT and PCI in CTO patients. Methods Between March 2003 and February 2012, 2,024 patients with CTO were enrolled in a single center registry and followed for about 10 years. We excluded CTO patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting, and classified patients into the OMT group (n=664) or PCI group (n=883) according to initial treatment strategy. Propensity-score matching was performed to minimize potential selection bias. The primary outcome was cardiac death. Results In the PCI group, 699 patients (79.2%) underwent successful revascularization. Clinical and angiographic characteristics revealed more comorbidities and more complex lesions in the OMT group than in the PCI group. At 10 years, the PCI group had lower risks of cardiac death (10.4% versus 22.3%; HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.32 to 0.57; p&lt;0.001) than the OMT group. After the propensity-score matching analyses, the PCI group had lower risks of cardiac death (13.6% versus 20.8%; HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.44 to 0.88; p=0.007), acute myocardial infarction (6.3% versus 11.2%; HR 0.55; 95% CI 0.34 to 0.91; p=0.02), any revascularization (23.9% versus 32.2%; HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.51 to 0.88; p=0.004) than the OMT group. The beneficial effects of CTO PCI were consistent across various subgroups (all p-values for interaction: non-significant). Conclusions As an initial treatment strategy, PCI reduced late cardiac death compared with OMT in CTO patients.

The impact of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients undergoing chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has received limited study. We reviewed 3999 CTO PCIs performed in 3914 patients between 2012 and 2018 at 25 centers, 14% of whom had a history of PAD. We compared the clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of patients with versus without history of PAD. Patients with PAD were older (67 ± 9 vs 64 ± 10 years, P < .001) and had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. They also had more complex lesions as illustrated by higher Japanese CTO score (2.7 ± 1.2 vs 2.4 ± 1.3, P < .001). In patients with PAD, the final crossing technique was less often antegrade wire escalation (40% vs 51%, P < .001) and more often the retrograde approach (23 vs 20%, P < .001) and antegrade dissection/reentry (20% vs 16%, P < .001). Technical success was similar between the 2 study groups (84% vs 87%, P = .127), but procedural success was lower for patients with PAD (81% vs 85%, P = .015). The incidence of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events was higher among patients with PAD (3% vs 2%, P = .046). In conclusion, patients with PAD undergoing CTO PCI have more comorbidities, more complex lesions, and lower procedural success.

AbstractBackgroundSuccessful chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is known to be associated with improved clinical outcomes compared with failed CTO PCI. However, it is not clear whether the angiographic and clinical outcomes of long CTO lesionis different with those of short CTO lesion in the drug eluting stent (DES) era.Method sand ResultsA total of 235 consecutive patients underwent successful CTO intervention were divided into two groups according the CTO lesion length. Six-month angiographic and two-year clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. The baseline clinical characteristics were similar between the two groups except prior PCI was more frequent in long CTO group whereas bifurcation lesion was more frequent in the short CTO group. In-hospital complications were similar between the two groups except intimal dissection was more frequent in long CTO group. Both groups had similar angiographic outcomes at 6 months and clinical outcomes up to 2 years except the incidence of repeat PCI, predominantly target vessel revascularization (TVR) was higher in long CTO group. In multivariate analysis, long CTO was an important predictor for repeat PCI (OR;4.26, CI 1.53-11.9, p=0.006).ConclusionThe safety profile, angiographic and 2-year clinical outcomes were similar between the two groups except higher incidence of repeat PCI in long CTO group despite of successful PCI with DESs.
