Background:The percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) is considered the most challenging technical procedure in the current interventional cardiology. Japanese Multicenter CTO Registry (J-CTO Score) was established to predict the probability of successful guidewire crossing through a half-hour.Aim: To assess the correlation of J score with percutaneous revascularization success in chronic coronary total occlusion patients.Method: This is a retrospective study that was included CTO patients who underwent coronary angiography at Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at King Abdul-Aziz Cardiac Center between January 2010 -December 2017 will be extracted from an electronic database (Apollo Lx, Best Care, Xcelera, Muse). Data collected from patients included demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, co-morbidities, angiographic parameters, Haemodynamic Measurements, and laboratory tests. SPSS was used to analyze data.Results: There were 173 patients included in the study, the mean±SD of CTOs number was1.4±0.8, the mean±SD of J-CTO score was1.8±0.9, the mean ±SD of fluro time was 29.3±14. There was no significant association between J-CTO score and outcome of patients (P=0.6), the amount of contrast used also had no significant association with patients'outcome (P=0.4), whereas the mean of fluro time was significantly associated with outcome of patients (P=0.01). Conclusion:J score showed no association with the success rate, however lower fluro time was a predictor of success.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
