Euro CTO Club – The Euro CTO trial
1. The EURO CTO Trial
Outcomes and Perspective

Visiting Professor Clinical Center Serbia

2. The rational for CTO PCI
• Improvement of clinical symptoms
– Relief of angina and ischemia
– Improvement of physical capacity
– Improved prognosis ?
3. Overall Mortality and CTO Success
Successful PCI of at least 1 CTO was associated with improved survival
(hazard ratio [HR]: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.62 to 0.83; p < 0.001)
Sudhakar et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2014;64:235-243
4. Symptomatic relief by PCI demonstrated in many trials
Joyal D et al. Am Heart J 2010;160:179-87
Comparison between successful and failed procedures
5. What can we expect from a randomized trial ?
• Randomized trials will always include less
symptomatic patients
• There will be less clinical events than in a
consecutive registry patient cohort
• There will never be a randomized trial
showing mortality differences for CTO PCI

8. Study Procedures (2)
•Revascularization for all significant non-CTO
lesions withinavesseldiameterof≥2.5 mm for
patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease
was recommended.
•Patients were prescribed guideline derived optimal
medical treatment including aspirin, P2Y12
receptor inhibitors (>12months in case of PCI),
beta-blocker, CCB, nitrate, ACEi/ARB, and statin.
•Blood pressure and diabetic control, smoking
cessation, weight control, and regular exercise
were recommended.

22. What should be the impact of the EURO CTO trial
• Only EUROCTO assessed the randomized
effect of PCI vs OMT on CTOs with a significant
effect on SAQ scores
• DECISION-CTO is not a conflicting trial, it just
assessed completely different populations and
lesions
• The EURO CTO trial reached its endpoint
despite limited enrolment
• This is a randomized trial that should not be
ignored by guideline committees
