Abstract
Role of adenosine Stress CMR before Chronic Total Occlusion reopening
Highlights
Conflicting data exists on the usefulness of a perfusion stress test prior to reopening a chronically occluded coronary artery (CTO)
Patients were considered suitable for the reopening procedure in case of myocardial ischemia and / or viable myocardium subtended to the Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO)
Inducible ischemia was observed in 71% of cases, with a perfect concordance with CTO occlusion
Summary
Conflicting data exists on the usefulness of a perfusion stress test prior to reopening a chronically occluded coronary artery (CTO). We sought to test whether a stress MR may improve patient selection for Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) reopening over a conventional LGE study
