Overview
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the changes in myocardial microcirculatory parameters of the collateral donor artery after recanalization of coronary artery chronic total occlusion.
Detailed Description
This study will include patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) of one coronary artery who will undergo the recanalization of the CTO. Before the procedure, myocardial viability, ischemia, functional parameters of the collateral donor blood vessels, echocardiography, and quality of life will be assessed. After the recanalization, these parameters will be assessed again 24h and 6 months after the procedure.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients over the age of 18 with signed informed consent to participate in the study
- •Presence of one CTO on native coronary arteries (with TIMI 0 flow)
- •Presence of clinical indication for attempting a PCI for CTO (at least one of the criteria present):
- •Symptoms of typical stable angina
- •Presence of inducible ischemia in the territory of the occluded artery
- •Presence of viable myocardium in the territory of the occluded artery
- •The diameter of the occluded artery ≥2.5mm
Exclusion Criteria
- •Acute coronary syndrome in the past month
- •Existing contraindication for administration of dual antiplatelet therapy in the duration of 12 months
- •Contraindications for implanting the drug-eluting stents
- •Existence of 2 or more CTOs on native coronary arteries (with TIMI 0 flow)
- •Severe tortuosity or calcifications of the coronary arteries
- •Left ventricle aneurysm

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Coronary flow reserve
Time Frame: six months
Change in coronary flow reserve of the collateral donor vessel (after PCI as compared to values before PCI) will be regarded as primary outcome measure
Secondary Outcomes
- Coronary flow velocity reserve(six months)
- Wall Motion Score Index (WMSI)(six months)
- Change from Baseline Stable Angina questionnaire (SAQ) at 6 months(six months)
