Predictors of Successful Outcomes in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chronic Total Occlusion

Abstract

Background:Chronic total occlusion (CTO) remains a particularly challenging lesion subset for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of PCI procedures performed for CTOs, driven by a deeper understanding of the anatomy and the development of advanced skills, along with the availability of specialized hardware. In this context, we aimed to study the predictors of successful outcomes of CTO PCI in a public sector hospital in Kerala.
