Abstract 15339: Balloon Angioplasty Alone versus Stent Implantation in Chronic Total Occlusion Patients With Small Vessel Disease (<2.5mm)

BackgroundChronic total occlusion (CTO) intervention has a lower initial success rate than non-CTO lesions, but has many clinical benefit. Current meta-analysis reported that successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of CTO lesions resulted in an improvement of left ventricular ejection fr...

Description
Summary:BackgroundChronic total occlusion (CTO) intervention has a lower initial success rate than non-CTO lesions, but has many clinical benefit. Current meta-analysis reported that successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of CTO lesions resulted in an improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), reduced adverse remodeling and improvement of survival rate. However, there have been very limited published data comparing the clinical outcomes of balloon angioplasty alone and stent implantation in small vessel CTO lesions.MethodsThe Korean CTO registry was collected by retrospectively from 26 major cardiovascular centers since May 2007. A total of 706 consecutive patients (pts) underwent CTO intervention in small vessel CTO lesions (
