Chronic Total Occlusion, Coronary Artery Disease, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Conditions
Brief summary
The EPIC registry is an observational multicentre registry evaluating the technical feasibility of retrograde CTO-PCI using epicardial collateral connections. It will evaluate the frequency, effectiveness, safety and outcomes of patients who underwent CTO-PCI using this approach. The EPIC registry retrieves data from CTO centres across Germany.
Detailed description
The EPIC registry is the first German-wide observational multicentre registry evaluating the technical feasibility, clinical success and safety of retrograde CTO-PCI using epicardial collateral connections. The EPIC registry retrieves data from CTO centres across Germany. All patients will be followed-up to 30 days after inclusion.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of technically successful retrograde CTO-PCI using epicaridal collaterals | 30 days | defined as the rate of successful CTO-PCI with reestablished antegrade coronary flow (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow III) with less than residual stenosis of 50%. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of clinically successful retrograde CTO-PCI using epicaridal collaterals | 30 days | Clinical success is defined as the rate of successful CTO-PCI by technical success without MACCE and without major periprocedural complications, including pericardial tamponade and contrast induced dialysis. |
| Rate of failed retrograde CTO-PCI using epicaridal collaterals | 30 days | is defined as the rate of CTO-PCI without technical success defined as residual stenosis \>50% (by visual estimation) and TIMI flow grade \<3 after CTO-PCI. |
