Angiographic success and procedural complications in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary chronic total occlusion interventions: a weighted meta-analysis of 18,061 patients from 65 studies.
This study sought to perform a weighted meta-analysis of the complication risk during chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The safety profile of CTO PCI has received limited study.
We conducted a meta-analysis of 65 studies published between 2000 and 2011 reporting procedural complications of CTO PCI. Data on the frequency of death, emergent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, stroke, myocardial infarction, perforation, tamponade, stent thrombosis, major vascular or bleeding events, contrast nephropathy, and radiation skin injury were collected.
A total of 65 studies with 18,061 patients and 18,941 target CTO vessels were included. Pooled estimates of outcomes were as follows: angiographic success 77% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 74.3% to 79.6%); death 0.2% (95% CI: 0.1% to 0.3%); emergent coronary artery bypass graft surgery 0.1% (95% CI: 0.0% to 0.2%); stroke <0.01% (95% CI: 0.0% to 0.1%); myocardial infarction 2.5% (95% CI: 1.9% to 3.0%); Q-wave myocardial infarction 0.2% (95% CI: 0.1% to 0.3%); coronary perforation 2.9% (95% CI: 2.2% to 3.6%); tamponade 0.3% (95% CI: 0.2% to 0.5%); and contrast nephropathy 3.8% (95% CI: 2.4% to 5.3%). Compared with successful procedures, unsuccessful procedures had higher rates of death (0.42% vs. 1.54%, p < 0.0001), perforation (3.65% vs. 10.70%, p < 0.0001), and tamponade (0% vs. 1.65%, p < 0.0001). Among 886 lesions treated with the retrograde approach, success rate was 79.8% with no deaths and low rates of emergent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (0.17%) and tamponade (1.2%).
CTO PCI carries low risk for procedural complications despite high success rates.

Recanalization of Chronic Total Occlusions in Patients With Previous Coronary Bypass Surgery and Consideration of Retrograde Access via Saphenous Vein Grafts.
The prevalence of native coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) after coronary artery bypass grafts (CABGs) is higher than in non-CABG population. We examined outcomes of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) post-CABG versus without CABG. Then, we looked at feasibility and outcomes of retrograde CTO PCI via patent or occluded saphenous vein graft.
We compared patient and procedural characteristics of 470 CTO cases treated from January 2010 to December 2015 depending on history of CABG. We assessed major adverse cardiac events, including cardiac death, myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization, or reocclusion 1 year after successful CTO PCI in patients treated before February 2015. Post-CABG patients (175 cases) had a higher J-CTO score (2.5 versus 2.1; P=0.002). In-hospital complications were similar, although the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was higher in post-CABG patients (4.6% versus 1%; P=0.01). With multivariable analysis, post-CABG status was associated with higher incidence of 1-year major adverse cardiac event (hazards ratio=2.2; P=0.02). As a second level analysis, we looked at the feasibility and safety of CTO PCI via saphenous vein grafts (19% of post-CABG cases) versus collateral channels (36%) versus with an antegrade-only approach (45%), and assessed short-term outcomes and complications. High success was achieved in the saphenous vein graft group. In-hospital events were similar in the 3 groups.
Post-CABG CTO PCI is associated with similar high success and low complications compared with CTO PCI in patients who never had CABG. However, it is associated with higher recurrent events at 1 year. To achieve high success rate, use of saphenous vein grafts as retrograde conduits seems to be safe and effective.

Lesion characteristics and procedural complications of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with prior bypass surgery: A meta-analysis.
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) accelerates the prevalence of native coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO), and this kind of CTO shows extensive challenging and complex atherosclerotic pathology. As a result, the procedural success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is inferior to another kind of lesions. The present meta-analysis aims to compare the lesion characteristics and procedural complications of CTO-PCI in patients with or without prior CABG. A total of 8 studies, comprising of 13439 patients, published from inception to August 2021 were included in this meta-analysis. Results were pooled using random effects model and are presented as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). From the 13439 patients enrolled, 3349 (24.9%) patients had previous CABG and 10090 (75.1%) formed the control group in our analysis. For the clinical characteristic, compared to the non-CABG patients, prior CABG patients were older (OR, 3.98; 95% CI, 3.19-4.78; p < .001; I2 = 72%), had more male (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.14-1.49; p < .001; I2 = 6%), diabetes mellitus (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.36-1.73; p < .001; I2 = 37%), dyslipidemia (OR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.33-2.69; p < .001; I2 = 81%), hypertension (OR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.46-2.41; p < .001; I2 = 71%), previous myocardial infarction (OR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.48-2.56; p < .001; I2 = 85%), and previous PCI (OR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.52-1.98; p < .001; I2 = 22%). Non-CABG patents had more current smoker (OR, .45; 95% CI, 0.27-0.74; p < .001; I2 = 91%). BMI (OR, -0.01; 95% CI, -0.07-0.06; p = .85; I2 = 36%) were similar in both groups. For lesions location, the right coronary artery (RCA) was predominant target vessel in both groups (50.5% vs 48.7%; p=.49), although, the left circumflex (LCX) was more frequently CTO in the prior CABG group (27.3% vs 18.9%; p<.01), while left anterior descending artery (LAD) in non-CABG ones (16.0% vs 29.1%; p<0.01). For lesions characteristics, prior CABG patients had more blunt stump (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.46-2.00; p < .001; I2 = 40%), proximal cap ambiguity (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.28-1.64; p < .001; I2 = 0.0%), severe calcifications (OR, 2.91; 95% CI, 2.19-3.86; p < .001; I2 = 83%), more bending (OR, 3.07; 95% CI, 2.61-3.62; p < .001; I2 = 0%), lesion length > 20 mm (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.10-2.29; p = .01; I2 = 83%), inadequate distal landing zone (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.75-2.18; p<.001; I2 = 0.0%), distal cap at bifurcation (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.46-1.88; p < .001; I2 = 0.0%), and higher J-CTO score (SMD, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.42-0.63; p < .001; I2 = 65%). But side branch at proximal entry (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.72-1.07; p = .21; I2 = 45%), in-stent CTO (OR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.86-1.14; p = .88; I2 = 0.0%), lack of interventional collaterals (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.55-1.15; p = .23; I2 = 78%), and previously failed attempt (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.48-1.11; p = .14; I2 = 89%) were similar in both groups. For complication, prior CABG patients had more perforation with need for intervention (OR, 1.91; 95% CI, 1.36-2.69; p < 0.001; I2 = 34%), contrast-induced nephropathy (OR, 3.40; 95% CI, 1.31-8.78; p = .01; I2 = 0.0%). Non-CABG patents had more tamponade (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.09-0.72; p = .01; I2 = 0.0%), and the major bleeding complication (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.57-2.44; p = .65; I2 = 0%) were no significant difference in both groups. In conclusion, Patients with prior CABG undergoing CTO-PCI have more complex lesion characteristics, though procedural complication rates were comparable.
