Evaluation of Effectiveness and Safety of Antegrade and Retrograde Approach of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusions

Recruiting
Conditions
Chronic Total Occlusion of Coronary Artery
Registration Number
NCT03667196
Lead Sponsor
Seung-Whan Lee, M.D., Ph.D.
Brief Summary

Objective of this study is to 1) analyze the clinical, anatomical and periprocedural differences of patients who underwent a procedure related to coronary CTO through the antergrade approach and retrograde approach; 2) analyze the success rate of the procedures and the incidence and patterns of complications; 3) compare and analyze long-term performances after the successful procedure; and 4) identify the independent factors that require a retrograde approach and the prognostic factor regarding long-term performances after use of each approach.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients in whom aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor and prasugrel, cilostazol are contraindicated
  • Patients scheduled to undergo a surgery, etc. that requires discontinuance of an antiplatelet drug within 12 months after participation in the study
  • Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction at the time of hospitalization
  • Terminally ill patients with their life expectancy < one year
  • Patients who have serious diseases other than cardiac diseases that may affect limitation of residual life time or observation of the protocol (e.g. oxygen-independent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persisting hepatitis or serious hepatic insufficiency, severe renal disease, etc. Be left up to the discretion of the investigator.)
