Long‐Term Outcomes of Successful Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Interventions Using the Antegrade and Retrograde Approach

Abstract

Retrograde CTO PCI was associated with higher incidence of TLR, but similar incidence of death and myocardial infarction compared to antegrade CTO PCI. These findings likely reflect the higher complexity of CTO lesions treated with the retrograde approach.
