Chronic Total Occlusion of Coronary Artery
Conditions
Brief summary
Objective of this study is to 1) analyze the clinical, anatomical and periprocedural differences of patients who underwent a procedure related to coronary CTO through the antergrade approach and retrograde approach; 2) analyze the success rate of the procedures and the incidence and patterns of complications; 3) compare and analyze long-term performances after the successful procedure; and 4) identify the independent factors that require a retrograde approach and the prognostic factor regarding long-term performances after use of each approach.
Interventions
This study intends to identify and compare the clinical, anatomical and periprocedural factors of the patients who used only the antergrade approach and the patients who needed the retrograde approach among the patients with coronary CTO

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients aged\>=19 * Patients who have a CTO lesion in at least one or more epicardial coronary artery 2.5 mm in blood vessel diameter * Patients who have symptoms of angina or objectively proven myocardial ischemia (asymptomatic myocardial ischemia, stable or unstable angina, non - -ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) * Patients who voluntarily agreed to the protocol and the clinical follow-up plan (or let their representative do this), and signed the informed consent form approved by the IRB of each study institute
Exclusion criteria
* Patients who are pregnant or lactating or have childbearing potential Patients in whom contrast medium and heparin are contraindicated or who are hypersensitive to them * Patients in whom aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor and prasugrel, cilostazol are contraindicated * Patients scheduled to undergo a surgery, etc. that requires discontinuance of an antiplatelet drug within 12 months after participation in the study * Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction at the time of hospitalization * Terminally ill patients with their life expectancy \< one year * Patients who have serious diseases other than cardiac diseases that may affect limitation of residual life time or observation of the protocol (e.g. oxygen-independent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persisting hepatitis or serious hepatic insufficiency, severe renal disease, etc. Be left up to the discretion of the investigator.)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Death | 12-month after PCI | Death |
| myocardial infarction | 12-month after PCI | the periprocedural myocardial infarction under the SCAI definition or the non-lethal myocardial infarction during the follow-up observations |
| the complex endpoints of target vessel revascularization/reocclusion occurrence | 12-month after PCI | including chronic total occlusion and angiostenosis |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure success rate | every 1-year up-to 5-year | A procedure success defined as the case where a final vessel diameter stenosis \< 30% is achieved after the stent insertion |
| Myocardial infarction | every 1-year up-to 5-year | Q-wave VS non-Q-wave, periprocedural myocardial infarction VS follow-up myocardial infarction (spontaneous myocardial infarction |
