Brief Summary

The IMAGINATION trial is an investigator-initiated, prospective, single-center study of symptomatic patients with a native chronic total occlusion (CTO) undergoing intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a drug-coated balloon (DCB). Post-PCI IVUS and fractional flow reserve (FFR) at baseline and at 6-months follow-up will be performed. In addition, patients included in the coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) substudy will undergo CCTA at 12-months follow-up. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCB-only approach in native coronary CTO.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * clinical indication for CTO PCI as determined by the local heart team (presence of angina or equivalent symptoms and/or documented ischemia or viability) * native CTO lesion as defined by invasive coronary angiography * informed consent for participation in the study Exclusion Criteria: * \<18 years of age * myocardial infarction * cardiogenic shock * severe valvular disease * estimated life expectancy \<1 year * contraindication to PCI * positive pregnancy test or breast-feeding * in-stent CTO * CTO recanalization using antegrade or retrograde dissection and re-entry techniques
