AB  - Coronary  chronic  total  occlusions  (CTOs)  are  defined  as  coronary  lesions  with  Thrombolysis  in  Myocardial  Infarction  (TIMI)  grade  0  flow  of  at  least  3  months  in  duration.  Coronary  CTOs  are  common,  being  encountered  in  approximately  1  in  3  patients  who  are  found  to  have  coronary  artery  disease  during  coronary  angiography  (range,  18%-52%;  Table  12-1).1-5  Numerous  patients  with  CTOs  have  complex  coronary  artery  disease  and  are  referred  for  coronary  artery  bypass  graft  surgery  (CABG),  but  many  are  referred  for  percutaneous  coronary  intervention  (PCI).
