View larger version (21K): [in a new window]   Figure 1 Technical success, procedural success and major adverse cardiac event (MACE) rates since 1990. CTO = chronic total coronary artery occlusion; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention.

(B) CTO-success (CTO-S) versus matched non-CTO success (M-S) versus CTO-failure (CTO-F) groups. (C) Single (SVP) versus multivessel procedures (MVP). (D) Single-vessel procedure CTO-success (CTO-S) versus SVP matched non-CTO-success (M-S) versus SVP CTO-failure (CTO-F).
