Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloon angioplasty for the treatment of chronic total occlusions patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion.

Detailed description

Recruited CTO patients will be divided into two groups: those undergoing PCI of drug-coated balloon (DCB group), and those undergoing PCI of drug eluting stent implantation (DES group). The primary outcome assessed will be the late lumen loss evaluation at a 12-month of follow-up appointment. Secondary outcomes include occurrence of major cardiac events (MACEs), myocardial viability, operate success, quality of life changes which will be compared to a baseline measurement.

Interventions

Optimal medical therapy includes dual antiplatelet therapy and statins (aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, betaloc). And optimal medical therapy should include adequate ventricular rate- limiting medication (i.e. Beta- blocker or rate-limiting calcium antagonist) where appropriate. Anti- anginal therapy should be used if the patients have symptom.
