Successfully CTO recanalization |
Procedure: Percutaneous recanalization of chronic total occlusion
Percutaneous recanalization of chronic total occlusion followed by immediate systematic coronary optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) at inclusion. Intra-individual post stenting assessment of reendothelialization with a second coronary angiography with OFDI analysis at 3 months. |
- Percentage of uncovered stent struts [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Measured by OFDI 3 months after CTO recanalization every millimeter over entire length of each stent implanted. (Number uncovered struts x 100)/total number of struts.
- Percentage of malapposed stent struts [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Measured by OFDI 3 months after CTO recanalization every millimeter over entire length of each stent implanted. (Number of malapposed struts x 100)/total number of struts.
- Percentage of neointimal hyperplasia proliferation [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Measured by OFDI 3 months after CTO recanalization every millimeter over entire length of each stent implanted. [(minimal stent area - minimal lumen area)/minimal stent area]x100.
- Minimal lumen area [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Measured by OFDI 3 months after CTO recanalization every millimeter over entire length of each stent implanted.
- Minimal lumen diameter [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Measured by OFDI 3 months after CTO recanalization every millimeter over entire length of each stent implanted
- Thrombus [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Measured by OFDI 3 months after CTO recanalization every millimeter over entire length of each stent implanted.
- Edge dissection [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Measured by OFDI 3 months after CTO recanalization every millimeter over entire length of each stent implanted.
- Relevancy of immediate post-PCI OFDI analysis [ Time Frame: Day one ]
To estimate the percentage of patients in whom the post-stenting OFDI analysis will reveal a suboptimal result of angioplasty whereas final angiography was considered optimal, as assessed by the presence of one or more of the following criteria:
- Dissection or thrombus.
- Residual stenosis.
- Stent malapposition defined by at least one malapposed strut.
- Residual stenosis.
- Impact of the technique employed for CTO revascularization on the reendothelialization [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
Comparison of primary composite endpoint between different way of recanalization:
- Anterograde.
- Retrograde.
- Dissection/re-entry.
- One year clinical follow-up [ Time Frame: One year ]
Each participating center will perform one year after CTO PCI a clinical evaluation of all patients included. This could be established directly with the subject during medical follow-up or indirectly via family doctor. Standardized questionnaire will be provided at the end of the e-case report form (CRF). Occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (myocardial infarction, death, stroke), sudden death, hospitalization for cardiac disease and severe hemorrhage will be recorded. Any new coronary arteriography will be noticed, as well as any PCI or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) during this one-year follow-up.
- Death all-cause
- Myocardial infarction
- Stroke
- Sudden death
- Hospitalization for cardiac cause
- Severe hemorrhage
- Angina [ Time Frame: One year ]About symptoms, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) grading system and New York Heart Association functional classification will be used to assess respectively exertion-induced angina and dyspnea, and compared to symptoms recorded before CTO revascularization.
- Dyspnea [ Time Frame: One year ]About symptoms, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) grading system and New York Heart Association functional classification will be used to assess respectively exertion-induced angina and dyspnea, and compared to symptoms recorded before CTO revascularization.
