Effect of Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention on Clinical Outcomes in Elderly Patients

Elderly patients with CTOs presented with seriously diseased coronary arteries and poor prognoses. CTO PCI did not seem to significantly improve long-term clinical outcomes among elderly patients with CTOs. Right coronary artery CTO and LM disease combined with 3-vessel disease might be independent predictors of 3-year cardiac mortality in elderly CTO patients.
