The impact of successful chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention on clinical outcomes: a tertiary single-center analysis
Recent publication
A new study has investigated the effects of a special coronary artery procedure, known as chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention (CTP-PCI), on patients' symptoms and quality of life. It was found that 84% of treated patients successfully underwent the procedure. While there was no difference in mortality between successful and unsuccessful treatments, there was a significant improvement in patients who were successfully treated. They had less chest pain (angina), required less medication and were generally more satisfied with the relief of their symptoms. The article was published open access in the journal ‘Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine’.
