8 PART I Pathology, Indications, and Review of Clinical Trials
in CTO revascularization. The pathophysiology of collagen accumulation and calcification in CTO is now at the frontier of CTO translational to clinical research. A biologic approach using locally delivered collagenase to target matrix collagen within CTOs to enhance guidewire crossing successes with softer guidewires has encouraging results in initial clinical trials [2, 3, 37]. These efforts will hopefully contribute to higher CTO revascularization success rates and a wider application of percutaneous revascularization for appropriate cases in the near future.

Introduction
Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are commonly observed in daily coronary angiography (CAG), occurring in 18–31 % of patients with significant coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing CAG [1, 2]. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of CTOs remains challenging, with lower success rates and higher rates of restenosis, as compared to non-occluded lesions [3, 4]. New techniques, device-based innovations, increasing operator experience, and an algorithmic approach has led to increased success rates with CTO-PCI, with current success rates approaching 85–94 % in experienced centers [5, 6]. Incomplete revasculari­zation for CTOs is associated with higher rates of death and worse major adverse cardiac events as compared to complete revascularization in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease [3, 4, 7]. Understanding the pathology of CTOs can be use­ful for the CTO-PCI strategy and planning, which can facilitate the increased success of CTO-PCI. In this chapter, we will explore the pathological find­ings of CTOs as they may pertain to successful procedural outcomes.
Histopathology of chronic total occlusions, with and without prior coronary artery bypass grafts
Chronic total occlusions are composed of atheroscle­rotic and/or thrombotic components that can be com­posed of multiple layers of different tissues. Angiographic total occlusions are not always consis­tent with histologic total occlusions, with one study showing that only 22 % of all angiographic CTOs cor­related to a 100 % occlusion on histopathology [8]. This is probably expected given the superior resolu­tion of histopathology compared to angiography.
In a previous report, we defined CTOs pathologi­cally as lesions where the lumen area was occupied by proteoglycan and/or collagen with or without neo­vascularization and chronic inflammation [9].The long-duration CTO (LD-CTO) was defined as a lesion that has a matrix consisting predominantly of collagen without fibrin in any section of CTOs. The short-duration CTO (SD-CTO) was defined as a lesion that has a matrix consisting predominantly of proteoglycan with fibrin. The pathological character­istics of the LD-CTO and the SD-CTO are compared in Figure 2.1 [10].

Additionally, we classified CTOs into three groups: (1) CTO with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), defined as having an arterial or venous bypass graft anastomosed distal to the CTO with a duration over 2 years, (2) LD-CTO without previous CABG, (3) SD-CTO without previous CABG (Figures 2.1 and
2.2) [10].Morphologically, CTOs with CABG and SD-CTO tended to be located in the proximal seg­ment of the artery, whereas only half of LD-CTOs were located in the proximal vessel. A histologic comparison of plaque components showed that both the area of organized thrombus and of necrosis were greatest in SD-CTO, followed by LD-CTO, and CTO with CABG. In contrast, calcification area was highest in CTO with CABG, followed by LD-CTO, and SD-CTO. Arterial remodeling was evaluated using remodeling index [ratio of the internal elastic lamina (IEL) area in CTO divided by the largest IEL area in one of the proximal reference sections]. The

remodeling index was the lowest (indicating neg­ative remodeling) in LD-CTO, followed by CTO with CABG, and SD-CTO. To summarize, CTOs with CABG are characterized by calcified plaque and moderate negative remodeling, while LD-CTOs are characterized by severe negative remodeling and moderate calcification (Figure 2.3). SD-CTOs are characterized by abundant organizing thrombi and necrotic cores, with the least negative remodeling. These pathological differences between groups are useful for stratifying the technical difficulty of CTO lesions, which may aid in patient selection and stra­tegic approaches to CTO PCI (Figure 2.3).
In addition, the lumen pattern was classified as abrupt versus tapered, depending on the degree of narrowing prior to or after the occluded seg­ment (Figure 2.4). Although there was no statistical difference in the prevalence of the lumen pattern between the groups, the abrupt pattern was more

Pathology of in-stent chronic total occlusion and its difference from native CTO
In-stent chronic total occlusions (IS-CTO) are also not uncommonly observed in PCI. The prevalence of IS-CTO is estimated to be 5–13 % of all CTOs [12–14]. The major etiologies of IS-CTO are acute thrombotic occlusion, restenosis, and plaque rup­ture from neoatherosclerosis [15].A representative

case study for each etiology of IS-CTO for bare metal stent (BMS) and a drug-eluting stent (DES) is depicted in Figures 2.5–2.7. The frequency of each etiology of IS-CTO and the major contributing risk factor for acute thrombotic occlusion are shown in Figure 2.8. Acute thrombotic occlusion was the most frequent cause of IS-CTO in both BMS (50 %) and DES (67 %), with medial tear being the major con­tributing risk factor for both BMS and DES (56 % and 69 %, respectively). The second most frequent cause was restenosis (31 % of BMS; 8 % of DES; p=0.08). Plaque rupture from neoatherosclerosis was seen in 9 % of BMS and 4 % of DES. Overall, neointi-
mal calcification was minimal in IS-CTO. However, in BMS, neointimal calcification was observed in 3 lesions with in-stent neoatherosclerotic rupture and one lesion involving an in-stent calcified nodule. In the cases with etiologies of acute thrombotic occlu­sion, restenosis, neointimal erosion, and hypersen­sitivity, neointimal calcification were not observed. Thus, it can be said that IS-CTOs differ from native CTOs, especially in terms of intimal calcifica­tion, which is seen more frequently in native CTO, presumably due to a higher prevalence of acute thrombotic occlusion in IS-CTO. In addition, there was a tendency toward longer length of collagen

Clinical implications from a pathological point of view
These histopathologic data suggest that CTOs with previous CABG are likely the most challenging lesions mainly because of the severe calcification, compared to the other types of CTOs, including

Figure 2.8 The frequency of each etiology for IS-CTO and the major contributing risk factor for acute thrombotic occlusion. Pie chart on the left illustrates the etiology of in-stent CTO (upper BMS, lower DES), and the pie charts on the right illustrate the major contributing risk factor for acute thrombotic occlusion. There were more frequent
thrombi and necrotic cores, and the least negative remodeling and calcification. SD-CTOs should be attempted via the antegrade approach because the components of such lesions are loose tissue and easier to penetrate (Figure 2.3). Since the major etiology of IS-CTO is thrombotic occlusion (Figure 2.8), an antegrade approach using direction-controlled wir­ing technique can be effective. Because the abrupt lumen pattern was more frequently observed in the proximal lumen, compared to the distal lumen in CTOs, switching the strategy from the antegrade approach to the retrograde approach when progress is not made using antegrade approach may facilitate crossing. Careful review of angiography and coronary computed tomography, with intravascular imaging when necessary, is important to predict the compo­nents of plaque in CTOs to aid in determining lesion complexity and strategy to facilitate crossing.
acute thrombotic occlusion lesions in DES versus BMS, whereas restenosis was a more frequent cause of CTO in BMS versus DES. All other causes were observed in <10 of lesions, and the differences did not reach significance. BMS, bare-metal stent; CTO, chronic total occlusion; DES, drug-eluting stent.

Conclusions
The detailed understanding of pathological char­acteristics of CTOs can be useful for the proce­dural success of CTO-PCI. There are several differences between the types of CTO lesions in terms of plaque morphologic characteristics, including thrombotic and calcific components, which can be affected by the presence of coronary artery bypass grafts, or bare metal versus drug­eluting stents. This in turn can influence the PCI strategies used. Furthermore, an abrupt pattern in the proximal lumen and tapered pattern in the distal lumen may indicate a favorable retrograde approach to crossing for CTO-PCI. Further research into the pathological correlates to CTO­PCI will hopefully continue to lead to higher pro­cedural success rates.
