Aims: The current study aims to verify the feasibility and safety of chronic total occlusion (CTO)-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via the distal transradial access (dTRA).Methods: Between April 2017 and December 2019, 298 patients who underwent CTO PCI via dTRA were enrolled in this study. The baseline demographic and procedural characteristics were listed and compared between groups. The incidences of access-site vascular complications and procedural complications and mortality were recorded.Results: The mean J-CTO (Japanese chronic total occlusion) score was 2.6 ± 0.9 points. The mean access time was 4.6 ± 2.9 min, and the mean procedure time was 115.9 ± 55.6 min. Left radial snuffbox access was performed successfully in 286 patients (96.5%), and right radial snuffbox access was performed successfully in 133 patients (97.7%). Bilateral radial snuffbox access was performed in 107 patients (35.9%). 400 dTRA (95.5%) received glidesheath for CTO intervention. Two patients (0.7%) developed severe access-site vascular complications. None of the patients experienced severe radial artery spasm and only 2 patients (0.5%) developed radial artery occlusion during the follow-up period. The overall procedural success rate was 93.5%. The procedural success rate was 96.5% in patients with antegrade approach and 87.7% in patients with retrograde approach.Conclusions: It is both safe and feasible to use dTRA plus Glidesheath for complex CTO intervention. The incidences of procedure-related complications and severe access-site vascular complications, and distal radial artery occlusion were low.

Procedural Success

Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are common in patients with ischaemic heart disease. In many countries, patients with CTOs are underserved by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). One of the barriers to CTO PCI is the technical challenges of these procedures. Improvements in technique and dedicated devices for CTO PCI, combined with advances in procedural strategy, have resulted in a dramatic increase in procedural success and outcomes. Antegrade wiring (AW) is the preferred initial strategy in short CTOs, where the proximal cap and course of the vessel is understood. For many longer, more complex occlusions, AW has a low probability of success. Dissection and re-entry techniques allow longer CTOs and those with ambiguous anatomy to be crossed safely and efficiently, and CTO operators must also be familiar with these strategies. The CrossBoss and Stingray system is currently the primary targeted re-entry device used during antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR), and there continues to be an evolution in its use to increase procedural efficiency. In contrast to older ADR techniques, targeted re-entry allows preservation of important side-branches, and there is no difference in outcomes compared to intraplaque stenting.

Abstract Background Successful recanalisation of percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion lesions has been associated with improved survival. Purpose This study aimed to assess the impact of successful percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion lesions on the long-term outcome of patients with impaired and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods The study sample consisted of 842 consecutive patients (928 chronic total occlusion lesions) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention at our institution between October 2005 and December 2009. We divided them into 3 groups by the degree of LVEF: less than 40% (severely reduced LVEF, n=140), 40% to 59% (moderately reduced LVEF, n=470), and 60% and above (normal LVEF, n=232). We evaluated mortality during the 10-year follow-up period the basis of procedural success and failure. Results The overall procedural success rate was 89.1%. Median follow-up duration was 7.9 years. The 10-year cumulative incidences of cardiac death in each degree of LVEF are shown in the Figure. Conclusions Successful recanalisation for chronic total occlusion lesions in patients with impaired LVEF may be associated with reduced cardiac mortality.

Complex Lesions

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.

The Impact

Background: In percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), the impact of prolonged fluoroscopy time (FT) on procedural outcomes is poorly studied. Methods and Results: We analyzed the outcomes of 12,538 consecutive elective PCIs. The primary endpoint was procedure failure (PF), the composite of technical failure, and adverse in-hospital events including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and target vessel revascularization (MACCE), as well as pericardial tamponade. We stratified the procedures as PCI for chronic total occlusion (CTO, n = 2720) and PCI for non-CTO (n = 9818). Logistic regression demonstrated a significant association between fluoroscopy time and procedural failure with a significant interaction with PCI type (both p < 0.001). The odds ratios (OR) of procedural failure for a 10-min increment in FT were 1.15 (confidence interval (CI) 95% 1.12–1.18, p < 0.001) in non-CTO PCI and 1.05 (CI 95% 1.03–1.06, p < 0.001) in CTO PCI. The optimal cut-point for prediction of PF was 21.1 min in non-CTO PCI (procedural success in 98.4% versus 95.3%, adjusted OR for PF 2.79 (CI 95% 1.93–4.04), p < 0.001) and 41 min in CTO PCI (procedural success in 92.3% versus 83.8%, adjusted OR for PF 2.18 (CI 95% 1.64–2.94), p < 0.001). In CTO PCI, the increase in PF with FT was largely driven by technical failure (adjusted OR 2.25 (CI 95% 1.65–3.10), p < 0.001), whereas in non-CTO PCI, it was driven by major complications (adjusted OR 2.94 (CI 95% 1.93–4.53), p < 0.001). Conclusions: Prolonged FT is strongly associated with procedural failure in both non-CTO and CTO PCI. In CTO PCI, this relation is shifted towards longer FT. The mechanisms of procedural failure differ between CTO and non-CTO PCI.

Procedural Success

Background. Despite constant technical advances, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO) remains a challenge with procedural success ranging from 65 to 85% in high volume center. MSCT provides information which cannot be obtained with conventional coronary angiography such as: plaque constitution, calcifications and distribution, route and distal run off. A better knowledge of these parameters may influence the approach to such complex PCI, optimize procedural strategy and success. The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of cardiac CT before PCI of CTO. Methods . All patients with CTO underwent 64-slice CT before the scheduled PCI. We used a scan protocol with 64±0.625mm slice collimation (pitch 0.2), 350 ms (General Electric Lihgtspeed VCT) and 420 ms (Philips Brillance) rotation time and simultaneous (ECG) gating. Patients with heart rates above 65 bpm received intravenous beta-blockade. All CT examinations were performed with retrospective electrocardiogram gating. Exclusion criteria were atrial fibrillation and creatinemia >140 μmol/l. Results . Sixty patients were included in the study. Mean age was 63.58.5 yrs, 90% were male. On MSCT, the occlusion length was 25.5mm16.5 (33.119.8 on angiography). Calcifications were evaluated as minimal in 42% (26% angio), moderate in 42% (54%) and severe in 1% (12%) of the cases. No calcification was found in 15% (8%). A possible coronary route was identified in 68% (18% on angio), the lumen was relatively visible in 77%, acceptable in 23% and eccentric in 98%. One side branch was observed in 62 %, two in 8% and none in 30% of the CTO. Procedural difficulty was assessed by angio using a scale of 1 (very easy) to 5 (extremely difficult) with a mean rate of 3.540.92 falling to 2.620.81 after reading the MSCT data. MSCT was deemed as extremely useful in 80%, useful in 18% and non useful in 2%. Overall procedural success was achieved in 79% of the CTOs. Conclusion . MSCT appears to be a new tool for optimising procedural strategy and increasing success rate in CTO angioplasty.
