The Impact of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Scoring Systems on Procedural Success and Patient Outcomes

This study shows that J-CTO and CASTLE provide slightly greater accuracy in predicting complex CTO PCI success compared to PROGRESS CTO and CL. However, the ostial location score did not demonstrate statistical significance in our patients.
