May support adjunctive imaging in CTO PCI; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Adjunctive imaging modalities such as CT, IVUS, and OCT play a crucial role in improving the success rates of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary interventions.
Sapontis et al. (2013) conducted a review in Chronic total occlusions. Adjunctive imaging (CT, IVUS, OCT) was evaluated. Adjunctive imaging modalities, including computerized tomography, intravascular ultrasound, and optical coherence tomography, facilitate higher success rates in chronic total occlusion interventions.
