Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
KCCT scoring provides a noninvasive method to grade the difficulty of CTO PCI and predict procedural success.
KCCT scoring could predict successful guidewire crossing ≤30 minutes and also procedural success. KCCT scoring may enable noninvasive grading difficulty of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention.
