Evaluating the impact of PCI on patients with chronic coronary artery occlusion

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study assesses the long-term clinical outcomes of patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared to those receiving optimal medical therapy (OMT). Patients treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2011 and December 2017 were divided into two groups based on their treatment. The primary focus is on major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events (MACCE), including cardiac death and recurrent myocardial infarction, while secondary outcomes include all-cause mortality. The study aims to determine if PCI can provide better outcomes than OMT alone for CTO patients.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* patients with at least one coronary CTO lesion at our hospital in between January 2011 and December 2017

Exclusion Criteria:

* (1) patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
* (2)a history of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
* (3) cardiogenic shock
* (4) malignant tumor. Patients were referred for PCI based on CTO-related symptoms or evidence of viability, or corresponding ischemia in the area of the CTO artery.
