Chronic Total Occlusive Lesions CMR Study

This registry will include consecutive patients presenting with at least one chronic total occlusion on coronary angiogram who will be treated by percutaneous coronary intervention in our center. All patients will undergo a non-invasive assessment for myocardial ischemia/viability using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) prior to revascularization therapy. Follow up CMR will be repeated in all participants after three months and one year. Additionally, clinical outcomes and quality of life will be evaluated at baseline and at follow-up. Primary objective of this study is to investigate the the reduction in ischemia (as evaluated by follow-up CMR) and the severity of angina according to clinical evaluation (including Seattle Angina Questionnaires \[SAQ\], Canadian Class Score\[CCS\] and 6-mins walking test).
