ABSTRACT Background: Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) is present in approximately 15% of coronary angiographies, and the success rates of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) range from 55 to 80%. The radial access has been increasingly used, even in more complex scenarios, such as CTO. The objective was to compare the profile and results of CTO patients undergoing PCI by radial or femoral access, and evaluate the independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. Methods: Data from the CENIC registry on patients submitted […]
