Keywords: Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO), Complex and High-risk Coronary Intervention (CHIP) and Coronary

Background
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been rapidly evolving.

Methods
We examined the clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of 10,249 CTO PCIs performed in 10,019 patients at 40 US and non-US centers between 2012 and 2022.

Results
Mean age was 64±10 years and 81% of the patients were men. The prevalence of prior PCI (62%), prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery (29%), and diabetes mellitus (43%) was high. The most common target vessel was the right coronary artery (53%), followed by the left anterior descending artery (26%) and left circumflex artery (19%). The target CTOs were highly complex with mean J-CTO score of 2.4 ±1.3 and PROGRESS-CTO score of 1.3 ±1.0. Technical success was high (86%) and increased over time, from 81.6% in 2016 to 88.1% in 2021 (p for trend<0.0001). The overall incidence of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE) was 2.1% without significant changes over time (p for trend =0.194). The final successful crossing strategy was antegrade wire escalation in 55%, retrograde in 19%, and antegrade dissection re-entry in 12%, with greater antegrade wire escalation success over time. Median contrast volume, air kerma radiation dose, and procedural and fluoroscopy duration decreased over time.

Conclusions
The success and efficiency of CTO PCI has been increasing in recent years without change in MACE.
