Even though technical progress in CTO-PCI and enhanced skills of dedicated operators have led to substantial procedural improvement, the success of the intervention is still lower than in non-CTO PCI. Moreover, the scores developed to appraise lesion complexity and predict procedural outcomes have shown suboptimal discriminatory performance when applied to unselected cohorts. Accordingly, we sought to develop a machine learning (ML)-based model integrating clinical and angiographic characteristics to predict procedural success of chronic total occlusion (CTO)-percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Different ML-models were trained on a European multicenter cohort of 8904 patients undergoing attempted CTO-PCI according to the hybrid algorithm (randomly divided into a training set [75%] and a test set [25%]). Sixteen clinical and 16 angiographic variables routinely assessed were used to inform the models; procedural volume of each center was also considered together with 3 angiographic complexity scores (namely, J-CTO, PROGRESS-CTO and RECHARGE scores). The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was employed, as metric score. The performance of the model was also compared with that of 3 existing complexity scores. The best selected ML-model (Light Gradient Boosting Machine [LightGBM]) for procedural success prediction showed an AUC of 0.82 and 0.73 in the training and test set, respectively. The accuracy of the ML-based model outperformed those of the conventional scores (J-CTO AUC 0.66, PROGRESS-CTO AUC 0.62, RECHARGE AUC 0.64, p-value &lt;0.01 for all the pairwise comparisons). In conclusion, the implementation of a ML-based model to predict procedural success in CTO-PCIs showed good prediction accuracy, thus potentially providing new elements for a tailored management. Prospective validation studies should be conducted in real-world settings, integrating ML-based model into operator decision-making processes in order to validate this new approach.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7705,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Cardiology","volume":"248 ","pages":"Pages 50-57"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143906229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of our study is to compare stent vs. nonstent outcomes of patients enrolled in the multicenter, core laboratory adjudicated XLPAD registry (NCT01904851) between 2005 and 2023. We analyzed 12-month cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiac and vascular events (MACVE), a composite outcome of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, lower limb revascularization and any amputation in patients treated with clinically indicated stent or nonstent interventions, analyzed within a competing risk framework; group differences assessed using the Gray’s test. To minimize confounding bias, we also implemented propensity score matching. About 5,067 patients (5,876 lesions), mean age 67.2 ± 10.3 years, underwent stent (<em>n</em> = 2,571) or nonstent (<em>n</em> = 2,496) predominantly femoropopliteal artery (68%) interventions. 42.8% were current smokers, 57.3% diabetic; 17% had chronic kidney disease and 56.5% coronary artery disease. 50.7% presented with Rutherford class (II-III) symptoms, with mean ankle-brachial index 0.64 ± 0.24. 61% lesions in stent group and 38.6% in the nonstent group had chronic total occlusions (p &lt;0.001).

Four Cox models were adjusted to evaluate the association between HR and HRV and the outcomes of interest (all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, assessed by ICD codes from death certificates): model (1) Unadjusted; (2) Adjusted for sex and age; (3) Model 2 + risk factors and clinical comorbidities; (4) Model 3 + adjustment for HRV or HR, respectively. At total 992,611 individuals were included, median age of 55 years. In 6 years, there were 33,292 (3.37%) deaths, 21% due to cardiovascular causes. After adjustments (model 4), all HR quartiles were independently associated with a progressively increased risk of all-cause mortality, being 88% higher for the fourth quartile (HR = 1.88, 95% CI 1.77 to 1.89). Similarly, the first and second HRV quartiles remained associated with increased all-cause mortality (first quartile [HR] = 1.42, 95% CI 1.37 to 1.47) in the final model. HR (fourth quartile: [HR] = 1.77, 95% CI 1.65 to 1.91) and HRV (first quartile: [HR] = 1.33, 95% CI 1.23 to 1.44) were also independent predictors (model 4) of cardiovascular mortality. In conclusion, in a large cohort of Brazilian adults, baseline HR and HRV were independent predictors of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, even when adjusted for each other.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7705,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Cardiology","volume":"248 ","pages":"Pages 23-31"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143778761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
