Comparative Study Between Intravascular Ultrasonography Guided and Angiography-guided Recanalization of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Chronic total occlusion is defined as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 0 with an estimated duration of at least 3 months. The interest in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has increased, but with failure rate up to 20%, leading to important developments in dedicated equipment and techniques.
In the 2014 European Guidelines on Myocardial Revascularization, intravascular ultrasound was recommended to guide stent implantation in selected patients, and this recommendation was a class IIa/level of evidence B.
In CTO PCI, certain angiographic features such as blunt proximal CTO cap, tortuosity, heavy calcification, and lack of visibility of path in the distal vessel increase procedural difficulty

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: intravascular ultrasonography guided
|
Device: intravascular ultrasonography
intravascular ultrasonography will be used during the study for the resolving proximal cap ambiguity of chronic total occlusion, facilitating re-entry into the true lumen after subintimal crossing and confirming distal true lumen guidewire position

| Active Comparator: Angiography guided

Device: intravascular ultrasonography
intravascular ultrasonography will be used during the study for the resolving proximal cap ambiguity of chronic total occlusion, facilitating re-entry into the true lumen after subintimal crossing and confirming distal true lumen guidewire position

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- outcomes of intravascular ultrasound guided re-canalized CTO during the procedure and composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization [6 months]
the study will assess the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization, rehospitalization, coronary artery bypass surgery and stroke within both groups
