1) The document discusses strategies for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions (CTOs), including staged procedures and when to stop a procedure. 2) It notes that in cases of failed antegrade PCI, patients should be referred to a CTO specialist center for a second attempt, either immediately with a retrograde approach or in a staged procedure later. 3) Successful CTO recanalization rates have increased in recent years with more use of retrograde approaches, either primarily or after failed antegrade attempts. However, radiation exposure, contrast volume, and complications should be considered in determining when to stop a procedure.
