CHAPTER 3
Indications and Guidelines
of PCI for CTO

Introduction
Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are completely
occluded coronary arteries with no flow and an estimated duration of at least 3 months. They are found in
about one-quarter of patients undergoing coronary
angiography [1, 2]. In recent years, CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has seen the development of enhanced techniques, along with greater
equipment and operator experience, and success rates
of 80% have been reported [3]. However, a 30-day
mortality rate of over 1% and an almost 5% rate of
perforations were also reported [4]. There are 7 widely
accepted principles [5] for CTO-PCI: ischemic symptom improvement as the primary indication, in-depth
planning, microcatheters for optimal manipulation,
combination of antegrade and retrograde approaches,
efficient change of technique, specific CTO-PCI
expertise, and optimum stent expansion. In this chapter, we will discuss the indications and guidelines of
CTO-PCI and the relevant evidence.
Outcome benefits associated with
CTO-PCI
Symptom improvement is the primary indication for
CTO-PCI. Two randomized control trials [6, 7]
(Table 3.1) and several observational trials [3] have
shown improvement in symptoms in these patients.
However, randomized trials have not succeeded in
demonstrating the efficacy of CTO revascularization
for hard endpoints such as mortality, myocardial
infarction, stroke, or heart failure [8]. Thus, the main
indication for CTO-PCI currently is symptom control.
Symptom relief
Successful PCI of CTO has been associated with
important symptomatic relief when compared to
failed procedures. In the TOAST-GISE (Total
Occlusion Angioplasty Study-Societa Italiana di
Cardiologia Invasiva) multi-center study conducted
on 369 patients with CTOs > 30 days of duration,
patients with successful CTO-PCI were more frequently free of angina (88.7%) compared to patients
who had an unsuccessful procedure (75%) at 1-year
follow-up (p = 0.008) [9]. The results of the FACTOR
trial (FlowCardia’s Approach to Chronic Total
Occlusion Recanalization), conducted in 125 patients
and based on the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ)
performed at baseline and 1 month after CTO-PCI,
showed that procedural success was independently
associated with angina relief (SAQ delta among
successful and unsuccessful PCI = 9.5 points,
p = 0.019), improved physical activity (SAQ delta
=13.1 points, p= 0.001), and enhanced quality of life
(SAQ delta = 20.3 points, p < 0.001), which was
greater in symptomatic patients than in asymptomatic
patients [10]. The EuroCTO multicenter trial randomly assigned 396 patients to CTO-PCI versus optimal medical therapy alone. At 1 year, in comparison
with patients randomly assigned to medical therapy
only, CTO-PCI patients had greater improvement in
angina frequency (subscale change difference, 5.23;
95% CI, 1.75–8.71; P
scale change difference, 6.62; 95% CI, 1.78–11.46;
P = 0.007), as assessed with the SAQ [6]. The

Intervention versus Optimal Medical Therapy in

Patients with Right Coronary Artery Chronic Total
Occlusion) randomly assigned 94 patients (single
center) with isolated right coronary artery CTO to
CTO-PCI versus optimal medical therapy alone. At 1
year, patients undergoing CTO-PCI had a significant
reduction in ischemic burden and improvement in
6-minute walk distance and quality of life [7]. We
must also mention the randomized DECISION CTO
trial (Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation Versus
Optimal Medical Treatment in Patients with Chronic
Total Occlusion), which did not show an improvement in symptoms for CTO-PCI patients [11].
Left ventricular function
In the past, studies examining changes in ejection
fraction (EF) after CTO-PCI have shown improvement. Left ventricular (LV) angiogram follow-up performed after 6 months of successful recanalization of
CTO in a series of 95 patients found that the EF
increased from 62% to 67% (p < 0.001). No changes in
EF were noted in 8 patients found to have re-occlusion
of the CTO at angiographic follow-up [14]. A substudy of 244 patients in the Total Occlusion Study of
Canada (TOSCA) who had ventriculograms at baseline and at 6-month follow-up found a significant
improvement in EF over time (from 59% to 61%,
p = 0.003). In this series, multivariate analysis revealed
that baseline EF < 60%, duration of occlusion ≤ 6
weeks, and Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS)
angina class I or II were independently associated
with an improvement in EF after successful CTO-PCI
[15]. Other studies have suggested that patients who
have never had myocardial infarction (MI) or those
with evidence of residual ischemia or viable myocardium after MI are most likely to benefit from CTOPCI [16–18]. In addition, Cheng et al. showed that
wall thickening of myocardium supported by a CTO
vessel improved after CTO-PCI based on a cardiac
magnetic resonance imaging study performed 6
months after successful PCI (from 55% to 68%) [19].
This evidence suggests that imaging techniques to
assess viability/ischemia may be particularly useful in
determining the role of CTO-PCI in patients with
decreased LV function.
However, newer randomized control studies such
as the EXPLORE trial have shown a different result.
Using cardiac MRI, the EXPLORE study showed no
advantages of CTO-PCI compared with drug treatment at 4 months after the acute event [12].
Arrhythmic events and sudden cardiac
death
CTO of an infarct-related coronary artery has been
associated with higher risk of ventricular arrhythmia
[20]. In patients with CTO, low coronary blood flow
can theoretically create an arrhythmic substrate and
favor the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia. CTO
revascularization might restore blood flow in the area
close to the fibrotic scar and, thus, generate positive
remodeling and reduce ventricular arrhythmias. A
meta-analysis that assessed ventricular arrhythmias in
patients with CTO has shown that CTO is associated
with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia and
all-cause mortality [21]. However, not enough studies
are available to address the issue.
Reduction in need for CABG
Successful CTO-PCI appears to be associated with a
significant reduction in the need for surgical revascularization. Freedom from coronary artery bypass
grafting (CABG) was significantly higher among the
317 patients at Emory with successful CTO-PCI at 4
years’ follow-up when compared to the 163 patients
with failed PCI (87% vs 64%, p < 0.0001) [22]. In the
TOAST-GISE study, patients with successful CTOPCI had a lower rate of CABG at 1-year follow-up
(2.5% vs 15.7%, p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis
showed that the only characteristic associated with
event-free survival was CTO-PCI success or failure
[9]. In a 5-year follow-up of 1791 patients who underwent CTO-PCI in 3 tertiary centers in the USA, South
Korea, and Italy, patients with successful CTO-PCI

CHAPTER 3 Indications and Guidelines of PCI for CTO 21

had significantly lower rates of CABG compared to
patients with failed CTO-PCI (3.2% vs 13.3%, p <
0.001) [23]. Among 100 CTOs in patients with CCS
angina class III or IV despite medical therapy, 47 were
successfully recanalized, and only 7 (15%) underwent
CABG. Among the 45 patients with unsuccessful,
uncomplicated procedures, 16 (36%) surgeries were
required and, among the 8 patients with complicated
procedures, 3 (38%) required CABG [24].
Survival benefit
There is no agreement regarding survival benefit in
CTO-PCI patients. The DECISION-CTO trial, which
assessed all-cause mortality, MI, revascularization,
stroke, and major adverse cardiac events (MACE),
showed no advantages in the PCI group compared to
medical treatment alone [25]. This study excluded
patients with low EF who might have benefited from
PCI. Unlike this trial, data from several registries
showed an increase in survival among patients undergoing successful CTO-PCI [26, 27]. A meta-analysis of
25 studies (28,486 patients) showed that compared with
failed procedures, successful CTO-PCIs were associated with a lower incidence of death, stroke, and CABG
and less recurrent angina [28]. We must also mention
the REVASC study, which evaluated total mortality, MI,
and repeated revascularization, at 1 year. The CTO-PCI
group in the trial had a lower risk of MACE than the
group with medical therapy alone [13].
Predictors of CTO-PCI success
When considering a CTO-PCI, careful assessment of
the chances of success appears to be particularly important, that is, balancing the risk and benefit ratio.
Although an experienced interventionalist may elect to
immediately pursue a CTO-PCI, strong consideration
should be given to deferring “ad hoc” PCI in this situation to allow for patient discussion and determination
of the appropriate strategy [29]. In this regard, known
clinical and angiographic predictors of CTO-PCI success/failure must be carefully analyzed, in addition to
cardiac computed tomography (CT) when indicated.
Angiographic predictors
Several scores were created to estimate the difficulty
of CTO-PCI. The most commonly used is the J-CTO
score, which was created in Japan using a multicenter
registry. It estimates the likelihood of successful antegrade guidewire crossing within 30 minutes based on
5 criteria (at least 1 bend of >45° in the CTO entry or
CTO body, occlusion length >20
blunt proximal stump, and previously failed attempt)
[30]. This score was validated and is also associated
with 1-year clinical outcomes [31, 32].
mm, calcification,
Other scores include the PROGRESS-CTO score,
the RECHARGE (Registry of Crossboss and Hybrid
Procedures in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and
United Kingdom) registry score, the CL-score
(Clinical and Lesion related score), the ORA (ostial
location, collateral filling of Rentrop <2, age >75)
score, the weighted angiographic scoring model
(W-CTO score), and the CASTLE score. There are
also cardiac CT angiography-based scores, such as the
CT-RECTOR multicenter registry (Computed
Tomography Registry of Chronic Total Occlusion
Revascularization) score and the Korean Multicenter
CTO CT Registry Score [33–39]. The scores are
mostly based on angiographic findings.
Clinical predictors
Duration of the occlusion appears to be one of the
most important predictors of procedural failure.
Generally speaking, the longer the occlusion duration, the less likely is recanalization success. Occlusion
duration longer than 3–6 months has been consistently associated with procedural failure [9, 40].
Another important clinical factor that may impact the
ability to recanalize a CTO is the presence of chronic
renal failure, which predicts a worse procedural result
and significantly limits the amount of contrast used
during the intervention [41].
Tomographic predictors
Electrocardiogram-gated cardiac CT has proved to be a
very useful tool for planning CTO-PCI, allowing one to
predict the procedural success/failure likelihood, to prevent possible complications, and to reduce procedural
time, the amount of contrast used, and radiation exposure [42, 43]. Garcia-Garcia et al. identified the following predictors for CTO-PCI failure by cardiac CT
performed in 142 patients: length of the occlusion
> 15 mm, severe calcification of the occluded segment,
and blunt-stump of the entry point, particularly if
severely calcified [43]. In addition, cardiac CT allows for
the evaluation of distal vessel characteristics, collateral
vessel distribution, degree of tortuosity of the occluded
segment, and prediction of the best angle for PCI
approach. Unfortunately, due to the amount of required
contrast and radiation associated with cardiac CT, its
use cannot be routinely recommended, but does appear
to be mandatory in patients with unfavorable angiographic anatomy and/or with prior failed CTO-PCI [2].
CTO-PCI techniques – planning the
PCI strategy
Important advances in CTO-PCI technique, including dedicated CTO wires, the use of support catheters,
the spread of drug-eluting stent technology, and the

22 PART I Pathology, Indications, and Review of Clinical Trials
development of special devices for the “retrograde”
approach, have permitted significant improvements
in CTO-PCI recanalization efficacy and safety.
Whenever collaterals are present, bilateral injections
are recommended to allow for simultaneous antegrade and retrograde filling of the target vessel.
General concepts on antegrade and
retrograde techniques
Generally, the antegrade approach is attempted first.
Tapered hydrophilic wires are initially used with the
intention of crossing though microchannels. If this
primary approach fails, progressive wire tip stiffness
should be tried (3–9 g wires) followed by tapered,
hydrophilic 9–20 g wires if this fails. If the wire is
advanced into the subintimal space, it should be left in
place at the time that a second similar wire is used
(“parallel wire” technique). If the second wire moves
subintimally, the first wire is pulled and an attempt to
cross (“see-saw wire” technique) is made [44]. The use
of a microcatheter, placed near the lesion, may be
helpful to increase the support and the penetration
power of the guidewire [5]. The retrograde approach
uses collateral channels to cross the CTO. Septal,
straight channels, with visible connection to the distal
vessel, are ideal for this approach. Atrial and epicardial collaterals are potentially useful but are more predisposed to dissection and perforation. Once the
collateral has been identified, selective injection must
be performed using microcatheters. If the collateral
channel appears to be suitable, a Corsair channel dilator is advanced over the wire. Subsequently, different
techniques (including simple retrograde wire cross,
kissing wire cross, controlled antegrade, and retrograde tracking [CART] and reverse CART) can be
attempted to cross the distal CTO cap [45].
In-hospital outcomes using current
CTO-PCI techniques
Using contemporary techniques, the J-CTO Registry
reported a success rate of 88.6% in first-attempt cases in
528 treated CTO lesions of 498 patients [32]. These
results were achieved, however, with a median fluoroscopy time of 45 minutes and a mean contrast volume of
293 ml. In addition, the frequency of perforation was
7.2% with antegrade approach and 13.6% with retrograde approach. Clinically significant tamponade was
seen in only 0.4% collectively [32]. The results of the
multi-center ERCTO (European Registry of Chronic
Total Occlusion) reported an overall success rate of
82.9% of 1983 treated CTO lesions in 1914 patients
(83.2% antegrade vs 64.5% retrograde, p < 0.001) [46].
These results were achieved, however, with a mean
fluoroscopy time of 42.3 minutes and a total contrast
volume of 313 ml. In addition, the frequency of perfo-
ration was 2.1% with antegrade approach and 4.7%
with retrograde approach. The tamponade rate was
only 0.5% [46]. Using techniques from Japan, a study
conducted in two US centers reported the outcomes of
636 consecutive patients undergoing CTO-PCI
between 2005 and 2008, comparing the results of highvolume operators (>75 total CTO-PCI cases and > 20
retrograde attempts during the study period) to nonhigh-volume operators. The overall technical success
was 58.9% for non-high-volume operators and 75.2%
for high-volume operators (p < 0.001) [47]. The technical success rate did not change for non-high-volume
operators, but for high-volume operators, it increased
to 90% over time (p < 0.001 for trend, 94.4% for retrograde and 85.7% for antegrade approach). These results
were achieved with a mean fluoroscopy time of 45 min
and 42 min (p = ns), total contrast volume of 433 ml vs
342 ml (p < 0.001), and cardiac tamponade rates of
0.97% vs 0.82% (p = ns), comparing non-high-volume
and high-volume operators, respectively [47].
Guidelines
The 2018 European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/
European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery guidelines on myocardial revascularization CTO-PCI carry
a class IIA/level of evidence B recommendation:
“Percutaneous recanalization of CTOs should be considered in patients with angina resistant to medical
therapy or with large area of documented ischemia in
the territory of the occluded vessel” [48]. The 2021
American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for coronary artery revascularization carry a class 2B/level of
evidence B–R recommendation: “In patients with suitable anatomy who have refractory angina on medical
therapy, after treatment of non-CTO lesions, the benefit
of PCI of a CTO to improve symptoms is uncertain” [2].
A summary of the guidelines is shown in Table 3.2.
The AHA guidelines [2] raise some controversy,
and the latest guidelines have downgraded the indication class from 2A to 2B. As mentioned previously in
this chapter, the 30-day mortality rate is over 1% and
the perforations rate reaches almost 5% [4].
Retrospective data show good outcomes in treating
CTO, but data from randomized controlled trials
(RCTs) do not demonstrate impressive results. The
AHA guidelines, thus, recommend discussing all
options with the patients and explaining all limitations and benefits. The EXPLORE trial [12] and
REVASC trial [13] did not show improvement of EF
compared to medical therapy when treating CTOs.
The EURO CTO Trial [6], which did show a reduction in angina frequency, was contradicted by the
DECISION-CTO [11] trial. We assume that the
authors of the guidelines have placed equal weight on

these two trials; however, many criticize the methodology of the DECISION-CTO trial (difficulties enrolling patients, most patients from a single center,
non-negligible crossover, etc.) [49]. Also, most realworld patients are not enrolled in clinical trials. In
order for future guidelines writers to want to increase
the indication level, a reduction in complications
must be demonstrated in future RCTs. Also, evidence
of both symptomatic relief and hard cardiovascular
outcomes must be shown.
Conclusions
Successful CTO recanalization has been shown to be
beneficial by leading to reduced need for CABG,
improved EF, and improved long-term survival.
Nonetheless, the main source of evidence comes from
observational, retrospective, non-randomized series,
with limited information regarding the potential baseline differences among successful and unsuccessful
cohorts. Therefore, the only current indication,
according to American and European guidelines for
CTO-PCI, is symptomatic relief. Factors associated
with CTO-PCI procedural failure include multi-vessel
disease, presence of bridging collaterals, moderate to
severe calcification, longer CTO length, and longer
CTO duration. Longer stented length and lower minimal lumen diameter following PCI have been shown
to be associated with a higher incidence of binary
restenosis [50]. As technical success improves and
long-term follow-up of patients verifies the benefits of
CTO-PCI, interest in this procedure is expected to
rise. Much of the current evidence is retrospective and
is limited by small patient numbers, but the increasing
enthusiasm is bound to lead to future well-designed
trials that should solidify our knowledge of the factors
important to procedural success and sustained patency.
