Conclusions: Rationale for CTO Recanalization in ALL Presence of a CTO imparts adverse prognosis. Non randomized data support improved overall CV outcomes (including mortality) with successful CTO procedures. A randomized trial will be needed to establish the PCI efficacy in CTO pts. Therefore developing technical skills (dedicated centers and dedicated Interventionalists) is essential to tackle this “last frontier of Interventional Cardiology” to improve overall outcomes of our complex CAD pts. KEY to better CTO outcomes is successful recanalization
