Abstract

Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.net. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) of Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) represents the most challenging procedure in modern endovascular treatments. In recent years, the success rate of CTO PCI has substantially improved, owing to increasing operator expertise and advancements in CTO equipment and algorithms as well as the development of expert consensus documents. In this review, we summarize existing evidence for CTO PCI, its success/ risk prediction scoring tools, procedural principles and complications and provide an insight into the future role of CTO PCI.
