Abstract

Despite vast advances in the devices and interventional technique, the overall success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion (CTO) is still an unsatisfactory 70–80%. Compared to successful opening of CTO, failed attempt for CTO has resulted in poor long-term outcome as well as higher contrast dye usage, radiation exposure, and complication rate [1–3]. The presence of CTO is one of the major causes of selecting surgical bypass surgery instead of percutaneous coronary intervention.
