Abstract
Background
PCI for aorto-ostial CTO remains challenging. The techniques for guidewire in aorto-ostial CTO may differ from those used in non–aorto-ostial CTOs, influenced by clinical and angiographic characteristics.
Objectives
This study aimed to assess the technical aspects and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with aorto-ostial chronic total occlusion (CTO).
Methods
This analysis included 420 patients with ostial CTO from the Japanese CTO-PCI Expert Registry, spanning January 2014 to December 2022. It examined the strategies and procedural outcomes of CTO PCI.
Results
Ostial CTO represented 420 of 10,814 (3.9%) of all CTO PCI cases. Within this subset, aorto-ostial CTO accounted for 218 of 420 (52%) cases. The technical success rate for aorto-ostial CTO was 88% (191/218). Aorto-ostial CTOs exhibited longer lesion lengths and were more likely to present with challenges such as distal target lumen ambiguity, calcification, and tortuosity compared with non–aorto-ostial CTOs. The retrograde approach was more commonly used in aorto-ostial CTO, with retrograde direct crossing being the most successful technique, especially in cases of flush CTO. A multivariate logistic analysis identified several factors significantly associated with unsuccessful aorto-ostial CTO PCI, including difficulties in engaging a guiding catheter, estimating the collateral channel (as assessed by the J-Channel score), and tortuosity.
Conclusions
Aorto-ostial CTOs are more complex and frequently require a retrograde approach. The availability of suitable interventional collateral channels is crucial for the success of these procedures.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions is a specialist journal launched by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It covers the entire field of interventional cardiovascular medicine, including cardiac, peripheral, and cerebrovascular interventions. The journal publishes studies that will impact the practice of interventional cardiovascular medicine, including clinical trials, experimental studies, and in-depth discussions by respected experts. To enhance visual understanding, the journal is published both in print and electronically, utilizing the latest technologies.
