Objective There is little published data reporting outcomes for those found to have a chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) that is electively treated medically versus those treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We sought to compare l... Read More about Medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention and prognosis in patients with chronic total occlusions.

Collateral donor artery physiology and the influence of a chronic total occlusion on fractional flow reserve (2015)
Journal Article
Ladwiniec, A., Cunnington, M. S., Rossington, J., Mather, A. N., Alahmar, A., Oliver, R. M., …Hoye, A. (2015). Collateral donor artery physiology and the influence of a chronic total occlusion on fractional flow reserve. Circulation. Cardiovascular interventions, 8(4), Article UNSP e002219. https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.114.002219

Background— The presence of a concomitant chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) and a large collateral contribution might alter the fractional flow reserve (FFR) of an interrogated vessel, rendering the FFR unreliable at predicting ischemia should t...
