Abstract
There remains a pressing need in the interventional cardiology community to narrow the existing gap in the success rates, safety, and effi ciency of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO-PCI) relative to non CTO-PCI. Success rates for non CTOPCI are high (>98 %). The success rates of CTO-PCI at experienced CTO-PCI centers are catching up (>90 %) but are likely much lower (50-70 %) at the vast majority of other PCI centers. Complication rates appear to be equal between CTO and non-CTO procedures at experienced CTO centers but may not be at others. CTO-PCI is associated with higher procedural time, contrast use, radiation exposure and supply cost than non CTO PCI even at experienced CTO-PCI centers. Thus, a wide variability in the CTO-PCI cases being attempted persists in large part due to these gaps. This chapter provides an overview of the new expanded hybrid approach, commonly employed by successful CTO operators.
