Abstract

Background: Coronary artery perforation is a feared complication of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and often leads to serious adverse clinical events.

Methods: We analyzed clinical and angiographic parameters from 9,618 CTO PCIs in the PROGRESS-CTO (Prospective Global Registry for the Study of Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention). Logistic regression prediction modeling was used to identify independently associated variables, and models were internally validated with bootstrapping. Clinical coronary artery perforation was defined as any perforation requiring treatment.

Results: The incidence of clinical coronary perforation was 3.8% (n = 367). Five factors were independently associated with perforation and were included in the score: patient age ≥ 65 years, +1 point (OR: 1.79; 95% CI: 1.37-2.33); moderate or severe calcification, +1 point (OR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.41-2.42); blunt or no stump, +1 point (OR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.10-1.92); use of antegrade dissection and re-entry strategy, +1 point (OR: 2.43; 95% CI: 1.61-3.69); and use of the retrograde approach, +2 points (OR: 4.02; 95% CI: 2.95-5.46). The resulting score showed acceptable performance on receiver-operating characteristic curve (area under the curve: 0.741; 95% CI: 0.712-0.773). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated good fitness (P = 0.991), and internal validation with bootstrapping demonstrated a good agreement with the model (observed area under the curve: 0.736; 95% bias-corrected CI: 0.706-0.767).

Conclusions: The PROGRESS-CTO perforation score is a useful tool for prediction of clinical coronary perforation in CTO PCI.
