Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to analyze the clinical outcomes and characteristics of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in Latin America, revealing vital data from 1,040 procedures across seven countries.
- The procedures primarily aimed to relieve angina and showed a technical success rate of 82.5%, with most techniques involving antegrade wire escalation.
- Key predictors of unsuccessful procedures included moderate to severe calcification, a blunt proximal cap, and previous unsuccessful attempts, while the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events remained low.
