Methods and Results: From October 2005 to June 2009, a total of 303 patients with 328 CTO lesions were consecutively treated achieving a success rate of 86.3%. The average of occlusion duration estimated in 62.5% of cases (known occlusion duration [KOD] patients, n = 188) was 29.8 +/- 41.3 months. In the remaining 37.5% of cases, the occlusion duration was indeterminate (indetermination of occlusion duration [IOD] patients, n = 115). No influence of duration in procedural outcome was observed. Moreover, no differences of 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were observed between KOD and IOD patients. The multivariate COX regression analysis identified diabetes mellitus and multivessel coronary disease as independent predictors of 12-month MACE (HR 5.023; 95% CI 0.164-9.653; P = 0.025 and HR 0.801; 95% CI 0.109-0.909, P = 0.033). The analysis did not show any influence of IOD and long occlusion duration in the occurrence of MACE. Predictors of angiographic failure recognized with multivariate binary logistic were vessel diameter < 2.5 mm (OR 5.3; 95% CI 1.19-8.91; P = 0.02), CTO length > 20 mm (OR 6.3; 95% CI 1.22-9.54; P = 0.02), and severe calcification (OR 3.2; 95% CI 1.62-5.51; P = 0.03). Conclusion: IOD and long duration of CTO do not affect procedural and clinical outcome of patients who underwent CTO PCI. This marks the importance of considering PCI treatment, a reliable strategy in cases of IOD or long occlusion duration.

Does occlusion duration influence procedural and clinical outcome of patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion.

Abstract

Methods and Results: From October 2005 to June 2009, a total of 303 patients with 328 CTO lesions were consecutively treated achieving a success rate of 86.3%. The average of occlusion duration estimated in 62.5% of cases (known occlusion duration [KOD] patients, n = 188) was 29.8 +/- 41.3 months. In the remaining 37.5% of cases, the occlusion duration was indeterminate (indetermination of occlusion duration [IOD] patients, n = 115). No influence of duration in procedural outcome was observed. Moreover, no differences of 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were observed between KOD and IOD patients. The multivariate COX regression analysis identified diabetes mellitus and multivessel coronary disease as independent predictors of 12-month MACE (HR 5.023; 95% CI 0.164-9.653; P = 0.025 and HR 0.801; 95% CI 0.109-0.909, P = 0.033). The analysis did not show any influence of IOD and long occlusion duration in the occurrence of MACE. Predictors of angiographic failure recognized with multivariate binary logistic were vessel diameter < 2.5 mm (OR 5.3; 95% CI 1.19-8.91; P = 0.02), CTO length > 20 mm (OR 6.3; 95% CI 1.22-9.54; P = 0.02), and severe calcification (OR 3.2; 95% CI 1.62-5.51; P = 0.03). Conclusion: IOD and long duration of CTO do not affect procedural and clinical outcome of patients who underwent CTO PCI. This marks the importance of considering PCI treatment, a reliable strategy in cases of IOD or long occlusion duration.
