Abstract
- Background: Whether saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) should be occluded after successful chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the corresponding native vessel remains controversial.<br />Methods: We analyzed the clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of 51 patients who underwent SVG occlusion following successful CTO-PCI of the corresponding native vessel between 2015 and 2022 at 14 centers.<br />Results: Mean patient age was 71 ± 8 years and 80% were men. The most common CTO target vessel was the right coronary artery (41%), followed by the left circumflex (37%). Retrograde crossing through the SVG was the successful crossing strategy in 40 cases (78%). SVG occlusion was achieved with coils (1.9 ± 1.0) in 35 of 51 patients (69%) and vascular plugs in the other 16 cases (31%). All procedures were technically successful and the SVG was occluded completely (TIMI 0 flow) in 38 of the cases (75%), with the remaining cases having TIMI 1 flow. Follow-up was available for 37 patients (73%); during a mean follow-up of 312 days from CTO-PCI, the incidence of target-lesion failure due to restenosis was 5.4% (n = 2) with no other major events reported.<br />Conclusion: Following native vessel CTO-PCI, SVG occlusion is often performed and is associated with favorable mid-term outcomes.
