Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) can be challenging to perform. The main indication for CTO PCI is to improve symptoms. Several contemporary studies have reported high CTO PCI success rates at experienced centers but success rates in all-comer registries remain low. Several scores can estimate the difficulty and the likelihood of success of CTO PCI. Dual arterial access and use of CTO crossing algorithms can improve the success and safety of CTO PCI. Intracoronary imaging can optimize stent expansion and minimize adverse cardiovascular events. While complications are more common in CTO PCI, careful planning and prompt diagnosis and treatment can prevent them or minimize their adverse consequences. In this article, we review contemporary data on the indications, safety and efficacy of CTO PCI.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D062645 Percutaneous Coronary Intervention A family of percutaneous techniques that are used to manage CORONARY OCCLUSION, including standard balloon angioplasty (PERCUTANEOUS TRANSLUMINAL CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY), the placement of intracoronary STENTS, and atheroablative technologies (e.g., ATHERECTOMY; ENDARTERECTOMY; THROMBECTOMY; PERCUTANEOUS TRANSLUMINAL LASER ANGIOPLASTY). PTCA was the dominant form of PCI, before the widespread use of stenting.
