Clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusion in prior coronary artery bypass grafting patients
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions May 07, 2021
Shoaib A, Mohamed M, Curzen N, et al. - Using a national cohort, researchers performed a comparison of clinical features as well as results in patients with stable angina who have received chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in native arteries with or without prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Using the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society database, a total of 20,081 patients with stable angina who received CTO PCI between 2007–2014 were selected. Findings revealed presence of more co‐morbid illnesses in patients with prior CABG presenting with stable angina and managed with CTO PCI in native arteries, but after adjusting for these differences, no additional risk of mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events or target vessel revascularization was independently conferred by prior CABG.
