This research aims to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and clinical results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTO) in patients treated in routine clinical practice in Poland. It focuses on rates of procedural success, complications, different PCI strategies and techniques, and the impact of artificial intelligence-based analysis on predicting outcomes and quality of life. The study includes a variety of patient subgroups, including those at higher risk due to conditions like low ejection fraction or diabetes. Patients receiving CTO PCI as part of their usual medical care will be enrolled in a national, multicenter registry. The study will observe different treatment strategies such as drug-coated balloons, drug-eluting stents, and hybrid approaches. It will also assess the use of intravascular imaging and mechanical circulatory support during PCI, examining how these factors relate to clinical outcomes. Participants will have clinical, procedural, and follow-up data collected to assess real-world results. Researchers will monitor procedural success within one day and track complications and cardiac injury markers after treatment. The study will analyze quality-of-life improvements and outcomes in high-risk groups over time, providing a comprehensive view of CTO PCI in contemporary practice.
