Risk Factors and Outcomes in Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion

Recruiting
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Chronic Total Occlusion
Registration Number
NCT06137521
Lead Sponsor
Ruijin Hospital
Brief Summary

This study aims to assess the risk factors and evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention or medical treatment.

Detailed Description

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is still one of the major contributors to global mortality. CTO is a special lesion type of CAD, defined as complete occlusion of at least one major epicardial coronary artery more than 3 months. Compared to non-CTO patients, those with CTO have worse prognosis. The prognosis of CTO patients is related to many factors including the baseline characteristics, modality of treatment and the degree of coronary collateral formation. Figuring out the factors which can indicate the outcomes of CTO is essential to clinical decision making. In this single center, observational study, we collect patient's clinical characteristics and blood samples to investigate potential factors associated with the development of coronary collateral formation and outcomes in patents with stable coronary artery disease.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The degree of collateral estimated visually by Rentrop score during coronary angiographyImmediate post-angiography

The degree of coronary collateralization supplying the distal area of the total coronary occlusion was visually graded using the Rentrop scoring system as follows: 0=no visible collaterals; 1=poorly opacified collaterals with faint visualization of the distal vessel; 2=partial filling of the collateral vessels; and 3=complete filling of the collateral vessels. Patients were then classified as poor coronary collaterals (Rentrop scores of 0 and 1) or good coronary collaterals (Rentrop scores of 2 and 3), according to the Rentrop score.
