Chronic Total Occlusions in Non-Infarct-Related Coronary Arteries and Long-Term Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients Receiving Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute Coronary Syndromes.

After adjusting for variables that fit the “entry” and “stay” criteria among this subgroup, only higher age and lower EFLV at discharge showed significant independent association with cardiovascular mortality during follow-up among the non-IRA CTO subgroup only, whereas non-IRA CTO revascularization almost reached statistical significance, but with a very wide confidence interval ( Table 6 ). 5.

Patients who received subsequent non-IRA CTO revascularization were younger, with more cases of diabetes mellitus, and with higher CrCl, but the differences did not reach statistical significance within the non-IRA CTO subgroup ( Table 4 ).
