Background: Chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO) substantially increase the risk for sudden cardiac death. Among patients with chronic ischemic heart disease at risk for sudden cardiac death, an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the favored therapy for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. This study sought to investigate the impact of CTOs on the risk for appropriate ICD shocks and mortality within a nationwide prospective cohort.

- The study examined the effects of large-bore arterial access through either the transradial (TRA) or transfemoral (TFA) methods on upper and lower-extremity function in patients undergoing complex coronary intervention.
- Results showed that patients generally maintained their upper and lower-extremity functionality over time, with minimal clinically relevant dysfunction reported (6% for TRA and 9% for TFA).
- Additionally, some trends indicated higher upper-limb dysfunction rates in female patients after TRA and greater lower-extremity pain linked to complications from femoral access.
