Abstract:
Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are diagnosed in a significant portion of patients undergoing coronary angiography and represent one of the most complex scenarios in contemporary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). This review systematically examines how adjunctive imaging modalities'-intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-co-registration enhances the precision and success rates of CTO-PCI during the procedure. The strategic integration of these technologies enables the development of patient-specific intervention strategies tailored to individual vascular architecture and lesion characteristics. This personalized approach marks a transition from standardized protocols to precision interventional cardiology, potentially optimizing procedural success rates while minimizing complications.
