Does the CT Angiography-Derived RECHARGE score improve prediction of successful percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic total occlusion compared to invasive determination?
The RECHARGE_CCTA score is superior to invasive determination for predicting 30-minute wire crossing in CTO-PCI, though it may not replace other CTA-based scores for overall success prediction.
The non-invasive RECHARGECCTA score performs better than the invasive determination for the prediction of the 30-minutes wire crossing of CTO-PCI. However, the RECHARGECCTA score may not replace other CTA-based prediction scores for predicting CTO-PCI success.
