description Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has evolved a great deal over recent years, with increased procedural success and lower complication rates being reported. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety and success of a dedicated CTO programme in a large UK PCI centre without on-site cardiothoracic surgery facilities. Methods: Clinical and procedural data were retrospectively collected for consecutive unselected patients undergoing CTO PCI between 2015 and 2019 from the local database and regional electronic patient records. In-hospital outcomes and long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (all-cause mortality, MI, stroke and target vessel revascularisation) were recorded. Results: A total of 170 patients underwent 191 CTO procedures during the study period. The mean age was 63 ± 10 years and 80.6% of patients were male (n=137). The clinical indications were: stable chronic coronary syndromes in 88.5% (n=169) of patients; staged procedures in the context of acute coronary syndromes in 1.6% (n=3); and presentation with acute coronary syndrome in 9.9% (n=19). The procedural success rate was 50.0% (n=25) for general interventional cardiologists and 90.1% (n=127) for dedicated CTO operators. In-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events occurred once (0.5%) and interhospital transfer for emergency salvage cardiac surgery was not required. Long-term follow-up data at a median duration of 3.8 years revealed 4 (2.4%) cardiac deaths, 14 (8.3%) spontaneous MI events and 10 (5.9%) target vessel revascularisations. Conclusion: These data suggest CTO PCI using contemporary techniques is both safe and effective when undertaken in a high-volume non-surgical centre by experienced operators.
