Development and Validation of a Scoring System for Predicting Periprocedural Complications During PCI of CTOs

The PROGRESS CTO Complications Score(1569 patients enrolled between 2012-2016, 90% success rate, In hospital MACE 2.8%)

Take home message

❖ Contemporary well controlled series and RCTs report higher complication and MACE rates

compared to early CTO PCI reports

❖ Expert operators consistently achieve success rates >90% and address lesions of increasing

complexity over time, while complication and MACE rates seem to remain unchanged

❖ In-hospital MACE in CTO PCI is in the range of 3%

❖ Perforation is the most common periprocedural complication (4%), responsible for the

majority of deaths (18% with Ellis III perforation)

❖ Retrograde approach and ADR are associated with higher complication rate

❖ Radial approach is associated with lower major bleeding and MACE rate (12 month FU)

❖ PROGRESS-CTO complications score is a useful tool for estimating in-hospital complication

risk
