Retrospective analysis highlights that coronary imaging enhances procedural success in CTO-PCI, suggesting tailored approaches improve outcomes.

Coronary imaging is linked to increased procedural time, enhancing the complexity and success of CTO-PCI procedures.
Procedural success rates notably improved with coronary imaging in patients with high J-CTO scores, emphasizing its role in complex cases.
Multivariable analysis identified imaging strategies and J-CTO score as predictors for using advanced debulking techniques in CTO-PCI.
Despite longer procedural and fluoroscopic times, coronary imaging strategies do not increase in-hospital complication rates, indicating safety.

Panuccio et al. (2025) studied this question.
