Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are relatively common findings in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the indication for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its clinical benefit in these patients remain controversial. METHODS A single-center retrospective cohort study with prospectively collected outcomes was carried out with CTO patients undergoing PCI in 2019 and 2020. Patients were divided into two groups according to previous T2DM diagnosis (T2DM and non-T2DM). The primary outcome was recurrence of angina and/or heart failure symptoms and secondary outcomes were myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality. RESULTS A total of 177 patients (82.5% male) were included in the analysis, with a mean age of 65±11 years. The primary outcome (total symptom recurrence) occurred in 16.6% of the sample, with no difference between groups (non-T2DM 13.6% vs. T2DM 21.2%, p=0.194) in a two-year follow-up. Angina recurrence was significantly more frequent in T2DM patients (15.2%, p=0.043). The presence of T2DM was not an independent predictor of symptom recurrence (p=0.429, HR 1.37, 95% CI 0.62-2.98). Myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality were also not different between groups (T2DM 1.5%, p=0.786 and 4.5%, p=0.352, respectively, on survival analysis). Independent predictors of all-cause mortality were left ventricular function and creatine clearance (p=0.039, HR 0.92, 95% CI 0.85-0.99 and p=0.013, HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.93-0.99, respectively). CONCLUSIONS T2DM did not influence outcomes in CTO patients undergoing PCI, and its presence should not be a limiting factor in deciding on CTO revascularization.

Abstract
Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) are an increasingly frequent entity in clinical practice and represent a challenging percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) scenario. Despite data from randomized trials that have not yet demonstrated a clear benefit of CTO recanalization, the widespread of CTO-PCI has substantially increased. The improvement in operators' techniques, equipment, and training programs has led to an improvement in the success rate and safety of these procedures, which will represent an important field of future development of PCI. The present review will summarize clinical outcomes and technical and safety issues of CTO revascularization with the aim to guide clinical daily cath-lab practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the right coronary artery (RCA) are a relatively common finding in the context of coronary angiography. However, the benefit of revascularization remains controversial. METHODS A single-center retrospective cohort analysis prospectively collected outcomes of CTO patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 2019 and 2020. Patients were divided into two groups according to the CTO vessel treated (left coronary artery [LCA]-CTO or RCA-CTO). The primary outcome was defined as the recurrence of angina and/or heart failure (HF) symptoms and secondary outcomes were myocardial infarction (MI) and all-cause mortality. RESULTS A total of 177 patients (82.5% male) were included in the analysis, with a mean age of 65±11 years. The primary outcome occurred in 28 (16.6%) patients and was significantly more frequent in RCA-CTO patients (19, 24.7%, p=0.010) in a mean follow-up of 18 months. This was mainly driven by recurrence of HF symptoms (12, 15.6%, p=0.013). Treated RCA-CTO was an independent predictor of the primary outcome (p=0.019, HR 2.66, 95% CI 1.17-6.05). MI and mortality rates were no different between groups (RCA-CTO with 1.3%, p=0.361 and 2.6%, p=0.673, respectively, on survival analysis). Left ventricular ejection fraction was an independent predictor of mortality (p=0.041, HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.87-0.99). CONCLUSIONS Revascularization of CTO lesions by PCI was associated with low rates of symptom recurrence, and clinical outcomes showed no differences regardless of which artery was treated. Recanalization of RCA-CTO was less beneficial in reducing the recurrence of HF symptoms.

Abstract
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common finding in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, the impact on prognosis of chronic total occlusions (CTOs), a drastic expression of CAD, remains unclear. Methods and results We retrospectively reviewed 1,487 consecutive TAVR cases performed at a single tertiary care medical center. Pre-TAVR angiograms were analyzed for the presence of a CTO. At the time of TAVR, 11.2% (n = 167) patients had a CTO. There was no significant association between the presence of a CTO and in-hospital or 30-day mortality. There was also no difference in long-term survival. LV ejection fraction and mean aortic gradients were lower in the CTO group. Conclusions Our analysis suggests that concomitant CTO lesions in patients undergoing TAVR differ in their risk profile and clinical findings to patients without CTO. CTO lesion per se were not associated with increased mortality, nevertheless CTOs which supply non-viable myocardium in TAVR population were associated with increased risk of death. Additional research is needed to evaluate the prognostic significance of CTO lesions in TAVR patients.

Abstract
Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of coronary arteries can be found in the context of chronic or acute coronary syndromes; sometimes they are an incidental finding in those apparently healthy individuals undergoing imaging for preoperative risk assessment. Recently, the invasive management of CTOs has made impressive progress due to sophisticated preinterventional assessment, including advanced non-invasive imaging, the availability of novel and dedicated tools for CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and experienced interventionalists working in specialised centres. Thus, it is crucial that referring physicians who see patients with CTO be aware of recent developments and of the initial evaluation requirements for such patients. Besides a careful history and clinical examination, electrocardiograms, exercise tests, and non-invasive imaging modalities are important for selecting the patients most suitable for CTO PCI, while others may be referred to coronary artery bypass graft or optimal medical therapy only. While CTO PCI improves angina and reduces the use of antianginal drugs in patients with symptoms and proven ischaemia, hibernation and/or wall motion abnormalities at baseline or during stress, the effect of CTO PCI on major cardiovascular events is still controversial. This clinical consensus statement specifically focuses on referring physicians, providing a comprehensive algorithm for the preinterventional evaluation of patients with CTO and the current evidence for the clinical effectiveness of the procedure. The proposed care track has been developed by members and with the support of the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI), the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI), and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Working Group on Cardiovascular Surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions are more complex than general percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. However, only a few nursing methods are specifically applied to patients undergoing CTO interventions. And the conventional nursing effect is not ideal, urgent need to explore more effective nursing methods. The checklist is a simple and effective tool for error management and performance improvement that has been widely used in many fields. But there have been no reports of the checklist being used to improve care for CTO patients. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a checklist-based nursing care process in patients undergoing Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions, including duration of care, patient anxiety, improved patient satisfaction, and occurrence of adverse events. METHODS A total of 120 CTO patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were selected at our hospital and divided into an intervention group (n = 60, adopted the checklist-based nursing care process for patient care) and a control group (n = 60, adopted nursing care according to the existing workflow) according to different nursing interventions. After surgery, the nurse in charge of the patient completed the nursing according to the "List of postoperative care for CTO patients" filled in by the patient within 24 h after surgery, conducted a doctor satisfaction survey, recorded adverse events, and completed the postoperative Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score and patient satisfaction survey before the patient was discharged. Subsequently, the Qc team checks the completion of the patient's checklist for safety and the completion of the questionnaire. Finally, the differences between the two groups in preoperative nursing time, incidence of adverse events caused by nurses' omission or inadequate guidance, patient anxiety, and doctor and patient satisfaction were compared. RESULTS The intervention grouphad significantly shorter preoperative nursing care time and significantly lower the total number of adverse events than the control group (P < 0.05).The postoperative Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05).The satisfaction of doctors and patients in the intervention groupwas significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The application of the checklist-based nursing care process in patients with CTO intervention can significantly reduce the preoperative nursing care time, reduce patient anxiety, improve patients' and doctors' satisfaction with nursing care, and effectively reduce the occurrence of adverse events caused by nurses' omissions or inadequate instructions. TRIAL REGISTRATION The protocol of the trial was registered retrospectively of Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number ChiCTR2200056804, reg date17/02/2022).

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) utilization is increasing, along with procedural success. Coronary angiography is frequently performed before the TAVR procedure for coronary artery disease workup. Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the coronary artery shares common risk factors with aortic stenosis and could be challenging, especially in terms of procedural safety. The outcomes of TAVR among patients with concomitant CTO are not extensively studied. We analyzed the National Inpatient Sample database between October 2015 and December 2020 to evaluate the clinical characteristics, procedural safety, and outcomes among patients who underwent TAVR who had concomitant CTO lesions. A total of 304,330 TAVRs were performed between 2015 and 2020, 5,235 of which (1.72%) were in patients with TAVR-CTO and 299,095 (98.28%) in those with TAVR-no CTO. After propensity matching, there was no difference in the odds of in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.94 to 1.75, p = 0.11). However, TAVR-CTO was associated with an increased incidence of acute myocardial infarction (aOR 1.27, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.53, p = 0.01), cardiac arrest (aOR, 2.60, 95% CI 1.64 to 4.11, p <0.0001), and need for mechanical circulatory support (aOR 2.6, 95% CI 1.88 to 3.59, p <0.0001). There was no difference in the incidence of stroke, major bleeding, complete heart block, or requirement for permanent pacemaker between the 2 groups. However, the TAVR-CTO cohort had a slightly greater length of stay and total hospitalization cost. TAVR is a relatively safe procedure among those with concomitant CTO lesions; however, it is associated with a greater incidence of acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and requirement for mechanical circulatory support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO) improves clinical symptoms and quality of life. The longer-term safety of PCI compared to optimal medical therapy (OMT) remains uncertain. AIMS We sought to evaluate the long-term safety of PCI for CTO in a randomised trial as compared to OMT. METHODS A total of 396 patients with a symptomatic CTO were enrolled into a randomised, multicentre clinical trial comparing PCI and OMT. Half of the patients had a single CTO; the others had multivessel disease. Non-CTO lesions were treated prior to randomisation (2:1 ratio). During follow-up, crossover from OMT to PCI occurred in 7.3% (1 year) and 17.5% (3 years) of patients. RESULTS At 3 years, the incidence of cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction was not significantly different between the groups (OMT 3.7% vs PCI 6.2%; p=0.29). By per-protocol analysis, the difference remained non-significant (OMT 5.7% vs PCI 4.7%; p=0.67). Overall, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were more frequent with OMT (OMT 21.2% vs PCI 11.2%), largely because of ischaemia-driven revascularisation. The rates of stroke or hospitalisation for bleeding were not different between the groups. CONCLUSIONS At 3 years there was no difference in the rate of cardiovascular death or myocardial infarction between PCI or OMT among patients with a remaining single coronary CTO. The MACE rate was higher in the OMT group due largely to ischaemia-driven revascularisation. CTO PCI appears to be a safe option for patients with a single remaining significant coronary CTO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) are both positively associated with cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients with coronary heart disease. However, the prognostic value of these two biomarkers has not been well elucidated in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO). Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the association of the TyG index and the SHR with long-term prognosis in patients with CTO. METHODS This prospective cohort study consecutively included 2740 angina patients with CTO from January 2017 to December 2018 at Fuwai Hospital. The outcomes are a composite of CV death and target vessel myocardial infarction (TVMI) and major CV cerebrovascular adverse events (MACCEs, including all-cause death, nonfatal MI, ischaemia-driven target vessel revascularization, and stroke). The association between biomarkers and prognosis was analysed by multivariable Cox proportional hazard models, and the predictive value was determined by a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS During the follow-up with a median time of 3 years, 179 (6.5%) cases of MACCEs and 47 (1.7%) cases of CV death or TVMI were recorded. Patients with a high TyG index (> 9.10) and a high SHR (> 0.87) showed a significantly increased risk of CV death/TVMI (TyG index: HR 4.23, 95% CI 1.58-11.37; SHR: HR 5.14, 95% CI 1.89-13.98) and MACCEs (TyG index: HR 2.47, 95% CI 1.54-3.97; SHR: HR 2.91, 95% CI 1.84-4.60) compared with those with a low Tyg index and a low SHR (TyG < 8.56, SHR < 0.76). The area under the curve (AUC) values were 0.623 (TyG index) and 0.589 (SHR) for CV death/TVMI and 0.659 (TyG index) and 0.624 (SHR) for MACCEs. Furthermore, patients with both a high TyG index and a high SHR showed the highest risk of clinical outcomes among patients with different levels of these two biomarkers, and the AUC for the TyG-SHR combination was larger than the TyG index alone in predicting MACCE risk. CONCLUSIONS The study revealed that a high TyG index and a high SHR were significantly correlated with poor prognosis in patients with CTO and suggested that these two biomarkers are reliable in predicting long-term prognosis in CTO patients.

Abstract
The study sought to assess the procedural success of rotational atherectomy (RA) in coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) and to investigate the in-hospital and one-year outcomes following RA. From 2015 to 2019, patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for CTO (CTO PCI) were retrospectively included into the hospital database. The primary endpoint was procedural success. Secondary endpoints were in-hospital and one-year major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral event (MACCE) rates. During the study period of 5 years, 2.789 patients underwent CTO PCI. Patients treated with RA (n = 193, 6.92%) had a significantly higher procedural success (93.26% vs. 85.10%, p = 0.0002) compared to those treated without RA (n = 2.596, 93.08%). Despite a significantly higher rate of pericardiocentesis (3.11% vs. 0.50%, p = 0.0013) in the RA group, the in-hospital and one-year MACCE rate was similar in both groups (4.15% vs. 2.77%, p = 0.2612; 18.65% vs. 16.72%, p = 0.485). In conclusion, RA is associated with higher procedural success for CTO PCI, but has higher risks for pericardial tamponade than CTO PCI without the need for RA. Nevertheless, in-hospital and one-year MACCE rates did not differ in-between both groups.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasingly used in the management of acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). PCI has decreased the demand for coronary artery bypass grafting, and more patients with ACS are now undergoing PCI. No previous data about the characteristics and outcome of patients performing PCI in Yemen. This study aimed to assess the patient presentation, characteristics, and outcome among Yemeni patients having PCI in the Military Cardiac Center. Methods All patients who underwent PCI either primary or elective in the Military Cardiac Center in Sanaa City were included over 6 months. Clinical, demographic, procedural, and outcome data were extracted and analyzed. Results During the study period, 250 patients underwent PCI. The mean ± standard deviation age was 57 ± 11 years, with 84% being male. Of all the patients, 61.6% (156) smoked tobacco, 56% (140) had hypertension, 37% (93) had Type 2 diabetes, 48.4% (121) had hyperlipidemia, and 8% (20) had a family history of ischemic heart disease. Coronary artery presentation was in the form of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction at 41% (102), non-STEMI at 5.2% (58), stable angina at 31% (77), and unstable angina at 5.2% (13). Coronary artery interventions were elective PCI in 81% (203), emergency in 11% (27), and urgent in 8% (20) with only 3% radial artery access and 97% femoral access. PCI was mainly in the left anterior descending artery in 82% (179), right coronary artery in 41% (89), left circumflex artery in 23% (54), and left main in 1.25% (3). All stents were drug-eluting stents during the registry time. Complication occurred in 17.6% (44) and case fatality was 2% (5). Conclusions Despite the current situation in Yemen, PCI was performed with success in a large number of patients with a low incidence of inhospital complications and mortality that is comparable to high- or middle-income settings.

Abstract
The decision whether or not to recanalize a chronic total occlusion (CTO) of a coronary artery is truly a dilemma for the cardiologist. The procedure is in fact complex, with a non-negligible rate of complications and with a probability of success lower than that of non-obstructive lesions. The analysis of the data available in the literature, with the significant discrepancy between the results of the randomized studies and the observational studies, does not currently allow conclusive statements on the role of the percutaneous coronary interventions in CTO. It is therefore essential to incorporate clinical, anatomical and procedural elements into the decision-making algorithm. While awaiting new randomized clinical trials of greater dimensions and better methodology, a careful selection of patients is certainly essential, limiting the procedure to those who are symptomatic or who have a high ischaemic burden and excluding those who have no evidence of vitality, without which it is not legitimate to expect any benefit from the intervention. Finally, the presence of the collateral circulation does not in itself appear to be an element that should have a significant decision-making role.

Abstract
The left anterior descending artery (LAD) subtends a large myocardial territory. The outcomes of LAD chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have received limited study. We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent LAD CTO PCI at a high-volume single center. Outcomes included in-hospital and long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We performed a subgroup analysis of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, defined as an LVEF of 40% or less. From December 2014 to February 2021, 237 patients underwent LAD CTO PCI. The technical success rate was 97.4%, and the in-hospital MACE rate was 5.4%, A landmark analysis after hospital discharge showed an overall survival of 92% and 85% MACE-free survival at 2 years. There was no difference in overall survival or MACE-free survival between those who had ischemic cardiomyopathy versus those who did not. In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, LAD CTO PCI was associated with significant improvement in LVEF (10.9% at 9 months), which was further pronounced when these patients had a proximal LAD CTO and were on optimal medical therapy (14% at 6 months). In a single high-volume center, LAD CTO PCI was associated with 92% overall survival at 2 years, with no difference in survival between patients with or without ischemic cardiomyopathy. LAD CTO PCI was associated with an absolute 10% increase in LVEF at 9 months in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is frequently encountered in patients evaluated for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) due to severe aortic stenosis. The prognostic relevance of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) in this setting is poorly understood. We conducted a search of MEDLINE and EMBASE to identify studies evaluating patients who underwent TAVR and evaluated outcomes depending on the presence of coronary CTOs. Pooled analysis was performed to estimate the rate and risk ratio for mortality. Four studies involving 25,432 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The follow up ranged from in-hospital outcomes to 8-years follow-up. Coronary artery disease was present in 67.8% to 75.5% of patients in 3 studies which reported this variable. The prevalence of CTOs varied between 2% and 12.6% in this cohort. The presence of CTOs was associated with increase in length of stay (8.1 ± 8.2 vs. 5.9 ± 6.5, p < 0.01), cardiogenic shock (5.1% vs. 1.7%, p < 0.01), acute myocardial infarction (5.8% vs. 2.8%, p = 0.02) and acute kidney injury (18.6% vs. 13.9%, p = 0.048). The pooled 1-year death rate revealed 41 deaths in 165 patients in the CTO group and 396 deaths in 1663 patients with no CTO ((24.8%) vs. (23.8%)). The meta-analysis of death with CTO versus no CTO showed a nonsignificant trend toward increased mortality with CTOs (risk ratio 1.11 95% CI 0.90-1.40, I2 = 0%). Our analysis suggests that concomitant CTO lesions in patients undergoing TAVR are common, and its presence was associated with increased in-hospital complications. However, CTO presence by itself was not associated with increased long-term mortality, only a nonsignificant trend toward an increased risk of death in patients with CTO was found. Further studies are warranted to assess the prognostic relevance of CTO lesion in TAVR patients.

Abstract
Background The COMET-CTO trial was a randomized prospective study that assessed long-term follow-up in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) in coronary arteries treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or with optimal medical therapy (OMT). During the 9-month follow-up, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) did not differ between the two groups; no death or myocardial infarction (MI) was observed. There was a significant difference in quality of life (QoL), assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), in favor of the PCI group. Here we report long-term follow-up results (56 ± 12 months). Methods Between October 2015 and May 2017, a total of 100 patients with CTO were randomized into two groups of 50 patients: PCI CTO or OMT group. The primary endpoint of the current study was the incidence of MACE defined as cardiac death, MI, and revascularization [PCI or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)]. As the secondary exploratory outcome, we analyzed all the cause-mortality rate. Results Out of 100 randomized patients, 92 were available for long-term follow-up (44 in the PCI group and 48 in the OMT group). The incidence of MACE did not differ significantly between the two groups (p = 0.363). Individual components of MACE were distributed, respectively: cardiac death (OMT vs. PCI group, 6 vs. 3, p = 0.489), MI (OMT vs. PCI group, 1 vs. 0, p = 1), and revascularization (PCI: OMT vs. PCI group, 2 vs. 2, p = 1; CABG: OMT vs. PCI group, 1 vs. 1, p = 1). There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the individual component of MACE. Six patients died from non-cardiac causes [five deaths were reported in the OMT group and one death in the PCI group (p = 0.206)]. Kaplan-Meier survival curves for MACE did not differ significantly between the study groups (log-rank 0.804, p = 0.370). Regarding the secondary exploratory outcome, a total of 15 patients died at 56 ± 12 months (11 in the OMT and 4 in the PCI group) (p = 0.093). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves for all-cause mortality rates did not differ significantly between the two groups (log rank 3.404, p = 0.065). There were no statistically significant differences between OMT and PCI groups in all five SAQ domains. There was a significant improvement in three SAQ domains in the PCI group: PL (p < 0.001), AF (p = 0.007), and QoL (p = 0.001). Conclusion After 56 ± 12 months of follow-up, the incidence of MACE, as well as QoL measured by SAQ, did not differ significantly between the PCI and OMT groups.

Abstract
Percutaneous treatment of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) has advanced greatly since its advent in the late 1970s through the development of dedicated wires and microcatheters, the improved skills of highly experienced operators and the adoption of new sophisticated strategies to guide procedural planning. The contemporary procedural success rate is 80-90% with a reduction in complications. Although there has been no improvement in prognosis in randomised trials to date, they, and other controlled registries of thousands of patients, confirm the pivotal role of CTO recanalisation in the treatment of angina and dyspnoea and an improvement in quality of life. Despite this evidence, CTO recanalisation is grossly underutilised. This review reports a detailed overview of the history, indications and treatment strategies for CTO recanalisation and hopes to increase interest among new, and especially young, operators in this demanding, rapidly evolving field of interventional cardiology.

Abstract
Objectives This paper intends to assess the clinical influence of chronic total occlusions (CTOs), revascularization, and the impact of vascularization completeness on patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Background The roles of CTO vascularization in clinical benefits remain conflicting. In addition, data concerning the different results of CTO vascularization and vascularization completeness according to LV systole function were assessed. Methods From an overall 918 consecutive patients with at least one CTO, 281 patients with ejection fraction (EF) ≤40% accepted coronary angiographic analysis between Jan 1, 2012, and Dec 31, 2020, and 29 patients were excluded. Subsequently, 261 patients were grouped into the successful CTO-PCI revascularization group (SCR, n = 135) and the optimal medical therapy group (OMT, n = 126). The prognosis influence of successfully finished CTO-PCI and complete revascularization on survival was evaluated. The primary endpoint was cardiac mortality, and the secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Results After a median follow-up time of 38.02 months, the cardiac mortality (p=0.037) and MACCE (p=0.001) were more remarkable in the OMT group than in the SCR group. Moreover, patients with CTO-PCI had survival benefits from complete revascularization for MACCE (p=0.025) and cardiac mortality (p=0.041). Based on multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, age ≧ 75 years (HR: 3.443, 95% CI 1.719–6.897, p < 0.001) predicted a worse probability of cardiac mortality. Additionally, previous PCI (HR: 1.592, 95% CI 1.034–2.449, p=0.035) and previous MI (HR: 1.971, 95% CI 1.258–3.088, p=0.003) predicted a worse probability of MACCE, and SCR (HR: 0.499, 95% CI 0.320–0.776, p=0.002) was a protection predictor of MACCE. Conclusion In patients with LV systole dysfunction (EF ≤ 40%), successfully finished CTO-PCI is related to long-term survival benefits. The benefits were more remarkable in patients with complete coronary revascularization (CCR).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the coronary artery is a difficult problem in clinical practice. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an effective risk predictor of cardiovascular risk. However, the relationship between the TyG index and the prognosis of CTO patients remains unstudied. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the TyG index and cardiovascular risk in CTO patients. METHODS This was a single-centre, retrospective cohort study. We retrospectively enrolled 652 patients with CTO lesions diagnosed by angiography and who underwent revascularization through PCI. Patients were routinely followed up for 24 months unless meeting the endpoint. The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularization, and nonfatal ischaemic stroke. To test the association of the TyG index with cardiovascular risk, the categorized TyG index and Cox proportional hazards regression models were utilized. RESULTS A total of 652 patients were enrolled in the final analysis (male: 83.7%, age: 58.2 ± 10.49 years). The average TyG index was 8.8 ± 0.57. CTO PCIs were procedurally successfully completed in 503 (77.15%) patients. During the follow-up period of 22.8 ± 3.84 months, 73 (11.19%) major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCEs) occurred. When fully adjusted, there was a 2.09-fold risk for MACCEs among patients with the highest TyG index compared with those with the lowest TyG index [T2 vs. T1: hazard ratio (HR) 1.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.65-2.38, P = 0.057; T3 vs. T1: HR 2.09, 95% CI 1.14-3.86, P = 0.018; P for trend = 0.036]. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis showed that the HR for MACCEs increased as the TyG index increased over 8.71 [HR per standard deviation (SD) 1.740, 95% CI 1.23-2.46, P = 0.002]. The risk of MACCEs increased with increasing tertiles of TyG index in successful CTO PCI patients and nondiabetes mellitus (DM) patients (P < 0.05) but not in patients with failed CTO PCI and DM patients. CONCLUSION The study revealed that the TyG index had significant relevance to cardiovascular risk in CTO patients and suggests that the TyG index is feasible for predicting cardiovascular risk in CTO patients.

Abstract
BackgroundPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) has been traditionally considered a challenging procedure, with a lower success rate and a higher incidence of complications compared to non-CTO-PCI. An accurate and comprehensive evaluation of potential candidates for CTO-PCI is of great importance. Indeed, assessment of myocardial viability, left ventricular function, individual risk profile and coronary lesion complexity as well as detection of inducible ischemia are key information that should be integrated for a shared treatment decision and interventional strategy planning. In this regard, multimodality imaging can provide combined data that can be very useful for the decision-making algorithm and for planning percutaneous CTO recanalization.AimsThe purpose of this article is to appraise the value and limitations of several non-invasive imaging tools to provide relevant information about the anatomical characteristics and functional impact of CTOs that may be useful for the pre-procedural assessment and follow-up of candidates for CTO-PCI. They include echocardiography, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), nuclear imaging, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). As an example, CCTA can accurately delineate CTO location and length, distal coronary bed, vessel tortuosity and calcifications that can predict PCI success, whereas stress CMR, nuclear imaging and stress-CT can provide functional evaluation in terms of myocardial ischemia and viability and perfusion defect extension.

Abstract
Background: Despite substantial improvement in chronic total occlusions (CTO) revascularization technique, the long-term clinical outcomes in diabetic patients with revascularized CTO remain controversial. Our study aimed to investigate the 5-year cardiovascular survival for patients with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CTO. Methods: Data of the current analysis derived from a large single-center, prospective and observational cohort study, including 10,724 patients who underwent PCI in 2013 at Fuwai Hospital. Baseline, angiographic and follow-up data were collected. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), which consisted of death, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and target vessel revascularization (TVR). The secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Cox regression analysis and propensity-score matching was performed to balance the baseline confounders. Results: A total of 719 consecutive patients with ≥1 successful CTO-PCI were stratified into diabetic (n = 316, 43.9%) and non-diabetic (n = 403, 56.1%) group. During a median follow-up of 5 years, the risk of MACCE (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-2.00, P = 0.013) was significantly higher in the diabetic group than in the non-diabetic group, whereas the adjusted risk of all-cause mortality (HR 2.37, 95% CI 0.94-5.98, P = 0.068) was similar. In the propensity score matched population, there were no significant differences in the risk of MACCE (HR 1.27, 95% CI 0.92-1.75, P = 0.155) and all-cause mortality (HR 2.56, 95% CI 0.91-7.24, P = 0.076) between groups. Subgroup analysis and stratification analysis revealed consistent effects on 5-year MACCE across various subgroups. Conclusions: In patients who received successful CTO-PCI, non-diabetic patients were related to better long-term survival benefit in terms of MACCE. The risk of 5-year MACCE appeared to be similar in less-controlled and controlled diabetic patients after successful recanalization of CTO. Further randomized studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Background As an initial treatment strategy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) did not show midterm survival benefits compared with optimal medical therapy (OMT). We sought to evaluate the benefit of PCI compared with OMT in patients with CTO over extended long‐term follow‐up. Methods and Results Between March 2003 and February 2012, 2024 patients with CTO were enrolled in a single‐center registry and followed for ≈10 years. We excluded patients with CTO who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (n=477) and classified patients into the CTO‐PCI group (n=883) or OMT group (n=664) according to initial treatment strategy. Patients with multivessel disease received PCI for obstructive non‐CTO lesions in both groups. In the CTO‐PCI group, 699 patients (79.2%) underwent successful revascularization. The CTO‐PCI group had a lower 10‐year rate of cardiac death (10.4% versus 22.3%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.44 [95% CI, 0.32–0.59]; P<0.001) than the OMT group. After propensity score matching analyses, the CTO‐PCI group had a lower 10‐year rate of cardiac death (13.6% versus 20.8%; HR, 0.64 [95% CI, 0.45–0.91]; P=0.01) than the OMT group. The relative reduction in cardiac death at 10 years was mainly driven by a relative reduction between 3 and 10 years (8.3% versus 16.6%; HR, 0.43 [95% CI, 0.27–0.71]; P<0.001) but not at 3 years (5.7% versus 5.0%; HR, 1.12 [95% CI, 0.63–2.00]; P=0.71). The beneficial effects of CTO‐PCI were consistent among subgroups. Conclusions As an initial treatment strategy, CTO‐PCI might reduce late cardiac death compared with OMT in patients with CTO. Extended follow‐up of randomized trials may confirm the findings of the present study.
