Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: patients with a chronic total occlusion, in whom there is a clinical indication for CTO revascularization by means of PCI.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - known MRI contrast allergy -contra-indication for MRI - previous transmural infarction in the area of the CTO, diagnosed on ECG or MRI - - previous bypass cardiac surgery -cardiac arrhythmia limiting flow velocity measurements - congestive heart failure - - clinical or laboratory signs of acute or chronic inflammatory illness - impaired renal function (GFR
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation between the intracoronary derived parameters and cardiac MRI estimates of collateral coronary circulation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Identification of genetic predispositions in patients with varying degrees of collateralization, in order to ultimately identify novel therapeutic targets. | — |
