Abstract
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of left main (LM) chronic total occlusions (CTO) has received limited study.
Methods: We compared the clinical and procedural characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent LM versus non-LM CTO PCI at 41 US and non-US centers between 2012 and 2024.
Results: During the study period 85 of 15,254 CTO PCIs (0.6%) performed in 14,969 patients were LM CTO PCIs. LM CTO PCI patients were older, had higher rates of dyslipidemia and heart failure and most (88.8%) had prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). They were more likely to have moderately or severely calcified lesions (80.7% vs. 45.7%, p < 0.001) and had higher J-CTO (2.76 ± 1.17 vs. 2.37 ± 1.26, p = 0.008), PROGRESS-CTO MACE (3.56 vs. 2.57, p < 0.001), Mortality (2.45 vs. 1.68, p < 0.001), Pericardiocentesis (2.74 vs. 1.87, p < 0.001), Acute MI (1.72 vs. 0.89, p < 0.001) and Perforation (3.21 vs. 2.19, p < 0.001) scores. There was no difference in technical success (80.5% vs. 87.2%, p = 0.086) or major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) (2.4% vs. 2.0%, p = 0.700). LM CTO PCI patients with and without prior CABG surgery had similar technical success and MACE. The retrograde approach in prior CABG patients was more likely to be performed through saphenous vein grafts.
Conclusions: LM CTO PCI is infrequently performed, is associated with high comorbidity burden and angiographic complexity but can be performed with high success and acceptable complication rates.
期刊介绍:
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions is an international journal covering the broad field of cardiovascular diseases. Subject material includes basic and clinical information that is derived from or related to invasive and interventional coronary or peripheral vascular techniques. The journal focuses on material that will be of immediate practical value to physicians providing patient care in the clinical laboratory setting. To accomplish this, the journal publishes Preliminary Reports and Work In Progress articles that complement the traditional Original Studies, Case Reports, and Comprehensive Reviews. Perspective and insight concerning controversial subjects and evolving technologies are provided regularly through Editorial Commentaries furnished by members of the Editorial Board and other experts. Articles are subject to double-blind peer review and complete editorial evaluation prior to any decision regarding acceptability.
