Abstract
BACKGROUND: Successful chronic total occlusion (CTO) revascularization has been associated with prognostic benefits. Whether the extent of coronary artery disease interferes with these benefits has not been investigated yet. AIMS: We sought to compare the survival after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CTO between patients with multi- (MVD) and single-vessel disease (SVD). METHODS: A total of 2002 consecutive patients undergoing CTO PCI between 01/2005 and 12/2013 were identified and stratified according to the presence/absence of MVD. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Median follow-up was 2.6 (interquartile range 1.1-3.1) years. RESULTS: A total of 1634 (81.6%) patients had MVD. Procedural success rates were 81.5 and 89.7% in the MVD and SVD groups (p < 0.001). All-cause mortality during entire follow-up was higher in MVD as compared to SVD patients (13.5 versus 5.7%, p < 0.001), and differences were attenuated after multivariable adjustment for baseline characteristics [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.51, 95% CI 0.98-2.33, p = 0.06]. The effect of successful CTO PCI on all-cause mortality was consistent among patients with MVD [11.0 versus 24.5%; adjusted HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.45-0.80, p < 0.001] and SVD [5.2 versus 10.5%; adjusted HR 0.74, 95% CI 0.24-2.26, p = 0.59, P int = 0.65]. However, due to the greater baseline risk in the former group, the absolute survival benefit after successful CTO PCI was higher. CONCLUSIONS: Successful recanalization of a CTO is a strong independent predictor for reduced long-term mortality. Due a higher baseline risk, the absolute benefit in patients with MVD is substantially larger than in patients with SVD.
