Distal Target Vessel Quality and Outcomes of Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2023; 16:1490-1500. [PMID: 37380231 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2023.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Distal vessel quality is a key parameter in the global chronic total occlusion (CTO) crossing algorithm. OBJECTIVES The study sought to evaluate the association of distal vessel quality with the outcomes of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS We examined the clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of 10,028 CTO percutaneous coronary interventions performed at 39 U.S. and non-U.S. centers between 2012 and 2022. A poor-quality distal vessel was defined as <2 mm diameter or with significant diffuse atherosclerotic disease. In-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE) included death, myocardial infarction, urgent repeat target vessel revascularization, tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis or surgery, and stroke. RESULTS A total of 33% of all CTO lesions had poor-quality distal vessel. When compared with good-quality distal vessels, CTO lesions with a poor-quality distal vessel had higher J-CTO (Japanese chronic total occlusion) scores (2.7 ± 1.1 vs 2.2 ± 1.3; P < 0.01), lower technical (79.9% vs 86.9%; P < 0.01) and procedural (78.0% vs 86.8%; P < 0.01) success, and higher incidence of MACE (2.5% vs 1.7%; P < 0.01) and perforation (6.4% vs 3.7%; P < 0.01). A poor-quality distal vessel was independently associated with technical failure and MACE. Poor-quality distal vessels were associated with higher use of the retrograde approach (25.2% vs 14.9%; P < 0.01) and higher air kerma radiation dose (2.4 [IQR: 1.3-4.0] Gy vs 2.0 [IQR: 1.1-3.5] Gy; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A poor-quality distal vessel in CTO lesions is associated with higher lesion complexity, higher need for retrograde crossing, lower technical and procedural success, higher incidence of MACE and coronary perforation, and higher radiation dose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Death is a rare but devastating complication of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS We examined the clinical characteristics and procedural outcomes of patients who died periprocedurally in the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of CTO Interventions (PROGRESS-CTO). RESULTS Of the 12 928 patients who underwent CTO percutaneous coronary intervention between 2012 and 2022, 52 (0.4%) died during the index hospitalization. Patients who died were more likely to have a history of heart failure (43% versus 28%; P=0.023). The J-CTO ([Multicenter CTO Registry of Japan]; 2.8±1.1 versus 2.4±1.3; P=0.019), PROGRESS-CTO mortality (2.6±0.9 versus 1.6±1.1; P<0.001), and PROGRESS-CTO pericardiocentesis (2.9±1.1 versus 1.9±1.3; P<0.001) scores were higher in patients who died. In these patients, the use of left ventricular assist devices was also higher (41% versus 3.5%; P<0.001), and retrograde crossing was more often the first crossing strategy (33% versus 13%; P<0.001). The cause of death was cardiac in 43 patients (83%) and noncardiac in 9 patients (17%). Complications leading to cardiac death were: tamponade in 30 patients (58%), acute myocardial infarction in 9 (17.3%), and cardiac arrest/shock in 4 (7.7%). Noncardiac causes of death were: stroke in 3 (5.8%), renal failure in 2 (3.8%), respiratory distress in 2 (3.8%), and hemorrhagic shock in 2 (3.8%). CONCLUSIONS Approximately 0.4% of patients who underwent CTO percutaneous coronary intervention died during the index hospitalization. The main cause of death was tamponade in 58%. PROGRESS-CTO complication scores might help in risk stratification and procedural planning in patients undergoing CTO percutaneous coronary intervention. REGISTRATION URL: https://www.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The retrograde strategy is a common approach used in complex chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The ERCTO Retrograde score is a tool that aims to predict the likelihood of technical success for retrograde CTO PCI procedures by evaluating 5 parameters: calcification, distal opacification, proximal tortuosity, collateral connection classification, and operator volume. METHODS We evaluated the performance of the ERCTO Retrograde score using data from 2341 patients enrolled in the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention (PROGRESS-CTO) at 35 centers between 2013 and 2023. RESULTS Retrograde CTO PCI was the primary crossing strategy in 871 cases (37.2%) and a secondary crossing strategy in 1467 cases (62.8%). Technical success was achieved in 1,810 cases (77.3%). The technical success rate was higher for primary retrograde cases compared with secondary retrograde cases (79.8% vs 75.9%; P=.031). The ERCTO Retrograde score was positively associated with the likelihood of procedural success. The c-statistic of the ERCTO retrograde score was 0.636 (95% confidence intervals [CI]: .610-.662) for all cases and 0.651 (95% CI: .607-.695) for primary retrograde cases. CONCLUSIONS The ERCTO Retrograde score has modest predictive capacity for technical success in retrograde CTO PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery dissection is a feared and potentially life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We examined the clinical, angiographic, and procedural characteristics, and outcomes of coronary dissection at a tertiary care institution. RESULTS Between 2014 and 2019, unplanned coronary dissection occurred in 141 of 10,278 PCIs (1.4%). Median patient age was 68 (60, 78) years, 68% were men, and 83% had hypertension. The prevalence of diabetes (29%), and prior PCI (37%) was high. Most target vessels were significantly diseased: 48% had moderate/severe tortuosity and 62% had moderate/severe calcification. The most common cause of dissection was guidewire advancement (30%), followed by stenting (22%), balloon angioplasty (20%), and guide-catheter engagement (18%). TIMI flow was 0 in 33% and 1-2 in 41% of cases. Intravascular imaging was used in 17% of the cases. Stenting was used to treat the dissection in 73% of patients. There was no consequence of dissection in 43% of patients. Technical and procedural success was 65% and 55%, respectively. In-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 23% of patients: 13 (9%) had an acute myocardial infarction (MI), 3 (2%) had emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and 10 (7%) died. During a mean follow up of 1,612 days, 28 (20%) patients died, and the rate of target lesion revascularization was 11.3% (n=16). CONCLUSION Coronary artery dissection is an infrequent complication of PCI, but is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, such as death and acute MI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aortocoronary dissection is a potentially serious complication of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We examined the incidence, mechanisms, treatment, and outcomes of aortocoronary dissection among 12,117 CTO PCIs performed between 2012 and 2022 in a large multicenter CTO PCI registry. RESULTS The incidence of aortocoronary dissection was 0.2% (n = 27). Most aortocoronary dissections occurred in the right coronary artery (96.3%, n = 26). The baseline clinical characteristics of patients with and without aortocoronary dissection were similar, except for dyslipidemia, which was less common in patients with aortocoronary dissection (70.4% vs. 86.0%; p = 0.019). The retrograde approach was used more commonly among cases complicated by aortocoronary dissection (59.3% vs. 31.0%; p = 0.002). Technical (74.1% vs. 86.6%; p = 0.049) and procedural (70.4% vs. 85.2%; p = 0.031) success rates were lower among aortocoronary dissection cases, with a similar incidence of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (3.7% vs. 2.0%; p = 0.541). Of the 27 patients with aortocoronary dissection, 19 (70.4%) were treated with ostial stenting and 8 (29.6%) were treated conservatively without subsequent adverse clinical outcomes. No patients required emergency surgery. Follow-up was available for 22 patients (81.5%): during a mean follow up of 767 (±562) days, the incidence of in-stent restenosis was 11.1% (n = 3). CONCLUSIONS Aortocoronary dissection occurred in 0.2% of CTO PCIs performed by experienced operators, was associated with lower technical and procedural success, and was treated most commonly with ostial stenting. None of the patients required emergency cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) can be lengthy procedures. We sought to investigate the effect of procedural time on CTO PCI outcomes. We examined the procedural time required for the various steps of CTO PCI in 6,442 CTO PCIs at 40 US and non-US centers between 2012 and 2022. The mean and median procedure times were 129 ± 76 and 112 minutes, respectively, with no significant change over time. The median times from access to wire insertion, guidewire manipulation time, and post crossing were 20, 32, and 53 minutes, respectively. Lesions crossed in <30 minutes were less complex, as reflected by lower Japanese CTO score (1.89 ± 1.19, p <0.001) than lesions that were not successfully crossed (2.88 ± 1.22) and lesions that were crossed in ≥30 minutes (2.85 ± 1.13). The likelihood of successful crossing if crossing was not achieved after 30, 90, and 180 minutes were a 76.7%, 60.7%, and 42.7%, respectively. The parameters independently associated with ≥30 minutes guidewire manipulation time in patients with a primary antegrade approach included left anterior descending target vessel, proximal cap ambiguity, blunt/no stump, occlusion length, previous failed attempt, medium/severe calcification, and medium/severe tortuosity. The mean duration of CTO PCI is approximately 2 hours (∼20% of time for access to wire insertion, ∼30% wire manipulation time, and ∼50% postwiring time). Guidewire crossing time was shorter in less complex lesions and in cases without complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can assist percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions (CTO). METHODS We analyzed 8,983 CTO PCIs performed in 8,771 patients between 2012 and 2022 at 39 centers. RESULTS Overall, IVUS was used in 44.5% of the cases, for crossing in 11.5% and for stent optimization in 33.1%. IVUS for stent optimization was used more often for complex lesions with higher prevalence of calcification (51.2% vs 34.3%; P<.001); was associated with lower air kerma radiation dose (1.78 [1.00, 3.09] vs 2.30 (1.35, 3.91) min, P<.001) and contrast volume (190 [138, 258] vs 220 [160, 300] ml, P<.001). Among cases with successful guidewire crossing, those that used IVUS for stent optimization had higher technical (99.3% vs 96.3%; P<.001) and procedural (96.1% vs 94.6%, P=.002) success rates and similar major adverse complication event rates (2.04% vs 1.62%; P=.176). The use of IVUS for stent optimization significantly increased over time. CONCLUSION In a contemporary, multicenter registry, IVUS was used in 44.5% and its use for stent optimization significantly increased over time. Cases where IVUS was used for stent optimization had higher technical and procedural success and similar risk of complications compared with cases where IVUS was not used for stent optimization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Same day discharge (SDD) following chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has received limited study. METHODS We evaluated the clinical, angiographic, and procedural characteristics of patients discharged the same day versus those kept for overnight observation in the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention (PROGRESS-CTO, NCT02061436). RESULTS Of the 7181 patients who underwent CTO PCI, 943 (13%) had SDD. The SDD rate increased from 3% in 2015 to 21% in 2022. Patients with SDD were less likely to have a history of heart failure (21% vs. 26%, p = 0.005), chronic lung disease (10% vs. 15%, p = 0.001), or anemia (12% vs. 19%, p < 0.001). Technical success (87% vs. 88%, p = 0.289) was similar, but in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (0.0% vs. 0.4%, p = 0.041) were lower in SDD. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, prior myocardial infarction odds ratio (OR): 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.59-0.87, p = 0.001), chronic lung disease OR: 0.64 (95% CI: 0.47-0.88, p = 0.006), and increasing procedure time OR: 0.93 (95% CI: 0.91-0.95, p < 0.001, per 10-min increase) were associated with overnight observation, while radial-only access OR: 2.45 (95% CI: 2.03-2.96, p < 0.001) had the strongest association with SDD. In the SDD, 2 (0.4%) of 514 patients were readmitted, due to retroperitoneal bleeding (n = 1) and ischemic stroke (n = 1). CONCLUSION The overall frequency of SDD after CTO PCI was 13% and has been increasing over time. SDD is feasible in select patients following CTO PCI, and radial-only access had the strongest association with SDD.

Abstract
Background: Balloon uncrossable lesions are defined as lesions that cannot be crossed with a balloon after successful guidewire crossing. Methods: We analyzed the association between balloon uncrossable lesions and procedural outcomes of 8671 chronic total occlusions (CTOs) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) performed between 2012 and 2022 at 41 centers. Results: The prevalence of balloon uncrossable lesions was 9.2%. The mean patient age was 64.2 ± 10 years and 80% were men. Patients with balloon uncrossable lesions were older (67.3 ± 9 vs. 63.9 ± 10, p < 0.001) and more likely to have prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery (40% vs. 25%, p < 0.001) and diabetes mellitus (50% vs. 42%, p < 0.001) compared with patients who had balloon crossable lesions. In-stent restenosis (23% vs. 16%. p < 0.001), moderate/severe calcification (68% vs. 40%, p < 0.001), and moderate/severe proximal vessel tortuosity (36% vs. 25%, p < 0.001) were more common in balloon uncrossable lesions. Procedure time (132 (90, 197) vs. 109 (71, 160) min, p < 0.001) was longer and the air kerma radiation dose (2.55 (1.41, 4.23) vs. 1.97 (1.10, 3.40) min, p < 0.001) was higher in balloon uncrossable lesions, while these lesions displayed lower technical (91% vs. 99%, p < 0.001) and procedural (88% vs. 96%, p < 0.001) success rates and higher major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates (3.14% vs. 1.49%, p < 0.001). Several techniques were required for balloon uncrossable lesions. Conclusion: In a contemporary, multicenter registry, 9.2% of the successfully crossed CTOs were initially balloon uncrossable. Balloon uncrossable lesions exhibited lower technical and procedural success rates and a higher risk of complications compared with balloon crossable lesions.

Abstract
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with high incidence of complications. We queried PubMed and the Cochrane Library (last search: October 26, 2022) for CTO PCI-specific periprocedural complication risk scores. We identified 8 CTO PCI-specific risk scores: (1) Angiographic coronary artery perforation (OPEN-CLEAN [Outcomes, Patient Health Status, and Efficiency iN (OPEN) Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Hybrid Procedures - CABG, Length (occlusion), EF <50%, Age, CalcificatioN] perforation, c-statistic 0.75): previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery, occlusion length 20 to 60 mm or ≥60 mm, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%, age 50 to 70 years or ≥70 years, heavy calcification. (2) Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (PROGRESS-CTO complication, c-statistic 0.76): age >65 years, lesion length ≥23 mm, retrograde strategy, and (3) MACE (PROGRESS-CTO MACE, c-statistic 0.74): age ≥65 years, female gender, moderate/severe calcification, blunt/no stump, anterograde dissection and re-entry (ADR) or retrograde strategy. (4) All-cause mortality (PROGRESS-CTO mortality, c-statistic 0.80): age ≥65, moderate/severe calcification, LVEF ≤45%, ADR or retrograde strategy. (5) Perforation requiring pericardiocentesis (PROGRESS-CTO pericardiocentesis, c-statistic 0.78): age ≥65 years, moderate/severe calcification, female gender, ADR or retrograde strategy. (6) Acute myocardial infarction (PROGRESS-CTO acute myocardial infarction, c-statistic 0.72): previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery, atrial fibrillation, blunt/no stump. (7) Perforation requiring any treatment (PROGRESS-CTO perforation, c-statistic 0.74): age ≥65 years, moderate/severe calcification, blunt/no stump, ADR, or retrograde strategy. (8) Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (c-statistic 0.84): age ≥75, LVEF <40%, serum creatinine >1.5 mg/100 ml, serum albumin ≤30, 30<albumin≤40 or >40 g/L. There are 8 CTO PCI periprocedural risk scores that may facilitate risk assessment and procedural planning in patients who underwent CTO PCI.

Outcomes of Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention After a Previous Failed Attempt. Am J Cardiol 2023; 193:61-69. [PMID: 36871531 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.01.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023]
Abstract
The impact of a previous failure on procedural techniques and outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has received limited study. We examined the clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of 9,393 patients who underwent 9,560 CTO PCIs at 42 United States and non-United States centers between 2012 and 2022. A total of 1,904 CTO lesions (20%) had a previous failed PCI attempt. Patients who underwent reattempt CTO PCI were more likely to have a family history of coronary artery disease (37% vs 31%, p <0.001) and dyslipidemia (87.9% vs 84.3%, p <0.001) but were less likely to have heart failure (25.1% vs 29.5%; p <0.001) and cerebrovascular disease (8.7% vs 10.4%, p = 0.04). Patients with previous failure had a higher Japanese CTO (3.33 ± 1.16 vs 2.12 ± 1.19, p <0.001) score and required longer procedure (120 vs 111 minutes, p <0.001) and fluoroscopy (46.9 vs 40.4 minutes, p <0.001) times and higher air kerma radiation dose (2.3 vs 2.1 gray, p = 0.013). Technical success rates (84.3% vs 86.5%, p = 0.011) were lower in patients with a previous failure compared with patients who underwent first-attempt CTO PCI with no significant difference in in-hospital major adverse cardiac events. After adjusting for potential confounders, a previous failure was not associated with technical failure. Operators performing >30 CTO PCIs annually were more likely to achieve technical success in patients with previous failure. In conclusion, a previous failed CTO PCI attempt was associated with higher lesion complexity, longer procedure time, and lower technical success; however, the association with lower technical success did not remain significant in multivariable analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of occlusion length on the procedural techniques and outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has received limited study. METHODS We examined the clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of 10,335 CTO PCIs at 42 US and non-US centers between 2012 and 2022. The cohort was divided into two groups based on lesion length (≥20 mm vs. <20 mm). RESULTS Long lesions were present in 7208 (70%) patients. Comorbidities were more common in patients with long CTOs. Compared with short lesions, long lesions had higher J-CTO score (2.8 ± 1.1 vs. 1.3 ± 1; p < 0.001) and retrograde wiring was more often the initial (15.5% vs. 4.0%; p < 0.001) and successful (22.8% vs. 8.2%; p < 0.001) crossing strategy. Long lesions were more likely to require longer procedure (123 vs. 91 min; p < 0.001) and fluoroscopy (47.1 vs. 32.2 min; p < 0.001) time, larger contrast volume (218 vs. 200 mL; p < 0.001) and higher air kerma radiation dose (2.4 vs. 1.7 Gy; p < 0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, long lesions were associated with lower technical success (odds ratio [OR]: 0.91 per 10 mm increase; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.88, 0.94) and higher major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (OR: 1.08 per 10 mm increase; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.15). CONCLUSIONS CTO PCI of long occlusions is independently associated with lower rates of technical success and higher rates of in-hospital MACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although high body mass index (BMI) is a known risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, people who are overweight or obese often have better outcomes after cardiac procedures. Whether this "obesity paradox" is observed in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unknown. Therefore, we examined the association of BMI with the outcomes of CTO-PCI in patients from the large, multicenter PROGRESS-CTO registry after stratifying patients into 3 BMI groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proximal cap ambiguity is a key parameter in the global chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) crossing algorithm. METHODS We examined the baseline characteristics and procedural outcomes of 9718 CTO PCIs performed in 9498 patients at 41 US and non-US centers between 2012 and 2022. RESULTS Proximal cap ambiguity was present in 35% of CTO lesions. Patients whose lesions had proximal cap ambiguity were more likely to have had prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery (37% vs. 24%; p < 0.001). Lesions with proximal cap ambiguity were more complex with higher J-CTO score (3.1 ± 1.0 vs. 2.0 ± 1.2; p < 0.001) and lower technical (79% vs. 90%; p < 0.001) and procedural (77% vs. 89%; p < 0.001) success rates compared with nonambiguous CTO lesions. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was higher in cases with proximal cap ambiguity (2.5% vs. 1.7%; p < 0.001). The retrograde approach was more commonly used among cases with ambiguous proximal cap (50% vs. 21%; p < 0.001) and was more likely to be the final successful crossing strategy (29% vs. 13%; p < 0.001). The antegrade dissection and re-entry (ADR) "move-the-cap" techniques were also more common among cases with proximal cap ambiguity. CONCLUSIONS Proximal cap ambiguity in CTO lesions is associated with higher utilization of the retrograde approach and ADR, lower technical and procedural success rates, and higher incidence of in-hospital MACE.
