Brief Summary
The aim of this CTO registry is to gather data including patient demographic date, cardiac risk factors, procedural technical data and procedural success/outcome rates. Furthermore, we aim to evaluate the safety and performance of various CTO specific guidewires, devices (such as the CrossBoss/Stingray dissection re-entry device) and other recognised and approved techniques (retrograde wire escalation, retrograde dissection re-entry techniques). The incidence of recognized complications (dissections, perforations, cardiac tamponade, vascular complications, radiation injury, acute kidney injury) will also evaluated. The investigator will assess clinical outcome at 1 year after successful CTO procedures.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * All consecutive patients undergoing an elective attempt at percutaneous revascularization of a chronic total occlusion are eligible for inclusion in the CTO registry. A chronic total occlusion is defined as an occluded coronary artery with TIMI 0 flow that has been occluded for 3 months or more. By definition all patients will have been judged to be acceptable candidates for an attempt at revascularization before consenting to be part of the CTO registry. Exclusion Criteria: * There are no specific exclusion criteria. If the patient does not wish to consent to having his personal data kept in a registry the patient will not be included in the CTO registry.
