Study Overview
Brief Summary
ORBITA-CTO Pilot is a double blinded randomised placebo-controlled trial comparing the effects of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention versus placebo on symptoms of angina in patients with background optimal medical therapy.

Inclusion Criteria
- •ORBITA CTO will enrol patients who meet all 5 of the following criteria:
- •Accepted for CTO PCI procedure by a specialist CTO operator.
- •Patients with symptoms related to a single vessel CTO (≥3 months duration, or probable CTO where duration is unknown) in a vessel of at least 2.5mm diameter without angiographically significant (LMS ≥50%, LAD/Cx/RCA/Graft ≥70%, ≥2mm diameter) coronary artery stenosis in remaining non-CTO vessels.
- •Symptoms are:
- •a) Typical exertional angina defined as: i) constricting discomfort in the front of the chest or in the neck, jaw, shoulder or arm ii) precipitated by physical exertion iii) relieved by rest or nitrates within 5 minutes b) Angina symptoms at rest (including decubitus angina and post-prandial angina).
- •c) Shortness of breath on exertion considered to be angina equivalent.
- •Clinical evidence of ischaemia in CTO territory on dobutamine stress echocardiography, nuclear myocardial perfusion scan, stress perfusion CMR or PET).
- •Evidence of viability: If left ventricular angiogram or echocardiogram demonstrates LV impairment or RWMA then viability must be demonstrated.
- •J-CTO score ≤ 3.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Acute coronary syndrome within 4 weeks.
- •PCI to non-CTO lesion in prior 4 weeks as part of ACS or elective PCI.
- •Non-revascularised clinically important non-CTO vessel.
- •Proven ischaemia (invasive or non-invasive) in non-culprit territory.
- •Contraindications to PCI or drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.
- •Inability to tolerate or contraindication to DAPT.
- •Severe valvular heart disease.
- •Severe chronic pulmonary disease (FEV1 <30% of predicted value).
- •Severe musculoskeletal disease resulting in immobility.
- •Life expectancy <2years.
- •Age <18years.
- •Inability to consent.
