Coronary Interventions Ulm - Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions

The aim of the proposed project is to provide the long-term results after a recanalization attempt of chronically occluded coronary arteries. To investigate recanalization attempt of chronically occluded coronary arteries at the Ulm University Hospital. As shown, it is known that successful recanalization of a chronic occlusion is associated with a lower event rate (reduced mortality and the need for operative myocardial revascularization) compared to unsuccessful recanalization (drug therapy). The standard in the therapy of successfully recanalized chronic occlusions is the use of drug-releasing vascular supports.
