About This Trial
Rationale: Randomized trials could not yet establish favourable outcomes of CTO PCI on hard endpoints such as ejection fraction or mortality, when compared to optimal medical therapy. However, patients after CTO PCI appeared to be more frequently free of angina complaints, but the aetiology behind this is not fully understood. The investigators hypothesize that PCI of the CTO in patients preselect…
