ABSTRACT
Background:Percutaneous coronary intervention in Chronic complete occlusion is a wide developing area and considered as frontier in interventional cardiology. But, how does complete occlusion influence the prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention is still a dilemma. Some people have better prognosis and some may not. This mainly depends on the risk factors, underlying systemic conditions and complications during and after PCI.
Aim:Aim of research was to determine influence of chronic complete occlusion on patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention in the past.
Materials and methods:A total of 120 patients recruited from the outpatient department of Sevasadan Lifeline Superspeciality Hospital, Miraj, Maharashtra, India and data was collected from a period of 1-1-2018 to 31-3-2018. Influence of systemic diseases, risk factors, cardiac related parameters, angiographic characteristics of lesions were collected from patients and followed till 31-3-2020.
Results:The results in the present study emphasize that complications like target vessel occlusion (8% in complete occlusion), dissection risk (5%) and heart failure, were higher in patients with complete total occlusion which indicates higher risk of complications in this group. This suggests that patients with complete occlusion had higher risk as well as higher complications than patients with incomplete occlusion.
Conclusion: This study concludes that patients with chronic complete occlusion had more complications than patients with incomplete occlusion. It also concludes that all systemic diseases like hypertension, diabetes are risk factors for patients with complete and incomplete occlusion undergoing PCI.
Keywords: Chronic complete Coronary Occlusion, Incomplete occlusion, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
