Many studies showed that successful recanalization of chronic total occlusion (CTO) provides an improvement of long-term outcome and left ventricular ejection fraction, electrical stability of the myocardium, increased tolerance to future coronary events, and last but not least an improvement in quality of life.

Chronic Total Coronary Occlusions
Cardiology Clinics, 2006Chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO) occur in up to one-third of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Indications for opening CTOs include relief of angina, improving left ventricular function, decreasing the need for coronary artery bypass surgery, and improved long-term survival.

Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) remain the most technically challenging and time-consuming subset of coronary artery lesions to treat with percutaneous intervention (PCI). Particular difficulties may be encountered in crossing and dilating the lesion, whilst the rates of restenosis are higher than other lesions even after successful PCI.

The development of dedicated expertise in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) techniques is a time-consuming process that makes the CTO-operator more versatile and resolute in routine PCI. We describe three characteristic cases where the use of a specific CTO-technique was applied in the setting of complicated PCI to

Complications of Chronic Total Occlusion Angioplasty
Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2012Every percutaneous coronary intervention carries risk for acute and long-term complications. This is also true of chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions, which can also have complications specific to specialized techniques, such as retrograde crossing and dissection/reentry techniques.

Percutaneous Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusions
Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2010Many patients with severe intermittent claudication (IC) or critical limb ischemia (CLI) have chronic total occlusions (CTO) in their lower extremity vascular bed. The successful treatment of these lesions is becoming increasingly more important as the population ages and the prevalence of diseases such as diabetes mellitus and its consequences ...

Retrograde algorithm for chronic total occlusion from the Asia Pacific Chronic Total Occlusion club
AsiaIntervention, 2018Retrograde CTO PCI is an effective method to improve the success rate of CTO PCI. Despite several comprehensive and detailed descriptive papers on the retrograde techniques, retrograde CTO PCI remains difficult for many interventionists. We, the Asia Pacific CTO club, propose a new retrograde CTO PCI algorithm, which focuses on three specific problems ...
