Mechanical circulatory support during chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention is infrequent and largely reserved for high-risk cases with anticipated hemodynamic instability.
Does Mechanical Circulatory Support use improve outcomes in patients undergoing Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention?
MCS use during CTO-PCI is infrequent and reserved for high-risk cases, but prophylactic implantation should be considered for those at risk of hemodynamic instability.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Overall, MCS use during CTO-PCI is infrequent and largely reserved for selected high-risk cases. In patients with a meaningful anticipated risk of hemodynamic instability, prophylactic implantation should be considered. Prospective multicenter studies are needed to refine indications and assess cost-effectiveness.
