Percutaneous Recanalization of Chronically Occluded Coronary Arteries: A Consensus Document: Part II
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: I n Part I of this article, the definitions, prevalence, and clinical presentation of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) were reviewed, the histopathology of CTOs was examined, efforts to replicate human CTOs with experimental models were appraised, and the clinical relevance and rationale for CTO revascularization were evaluated. 1In Part II, we summarize the technical approach to and outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of occluded coronary arteries, describe the novel devices and drugs approved and undergoing investigation for CTO recanalization, and conclude with practical perspectives on managing the patient with 1 or more chronic coronary occlusions.
