| ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness and prognosis of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with Chronic Total Occlusion(CTO)MethodsPatients diagnosed with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease(CAD)and confirmed by coronary angiography(CAG)to have at least one CTO were collected from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine,First People’s Hospital of Yunnan Province from May 2019 to April2021.The number of patients with CTO was 268.The 142 patients with successful CTO-PCI were included in the PCI group;the 126 patients with failed PCI and no coronary intervention were treated with optimal medical therapy(OMT)and included in the OMT group;217patients in the single CTO group and 51 patients in the multiple CTO group were divided according to the number of CTO lesions.Among the patients in the single CTO group,121 patients with successful PCI were included in the PCI group,96 patients with failed opening and no coronary intervention were included in the OMT group,21 patients in the multi-CTO group with successful CTO-PCI were included in the PCI group,30 patients with failed opening and no coronary intervention were included in the OMT group.Basic data and follow-up and review data at 3,6 and 12 months after discharge were collected from all patients.Cardiac function parameters including left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular shortening(LVFS),and left ventricular diastolic shortening(LVSD)were analysed at 3,6 and 12 months after discharge.The changes in left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVED)were also assessed by the SF-36 quality of life scale at 3,6 and 12 months after discharge.Major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)were also recorded for all patients at3,6 and 12 months after discharge.Results1.Baseline data: age,gender,history of hypertension,history of diabetes mellitus,history of hyperlipidemia,history of smoking,history of previous heart attack,history of previous stroke,total cholesterol,triglycerides,HDL,LDL,creatinine,N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursors,LVEF,LVFS,LVED,baseline medication,number of concurrently treated non-CTO lesions,CTO lesion

and quality of life,with more pronounced improvements in cardiac function with multiple CTOs.2.Successful CTO-PCI reduces the incidence of MACE,decreases the number of angina attacks and reduces readmission rates,and improves clinical prognosis. |
