Validation of the J-Channel Score for retrograde channel crossing in the PROGRESS-CTO registry

We examined the performance of the J-Channel score in patients who underwent retrograde CTO-PCI at 31 centers between 2013-2023 as part of the Prospective Global Registry for the Study of CTO Intervention (PROGRESS-CTO). We observed an association between successful CC crossing and the J-Channel score, its predictive efficacy was modest for both wire and microcatheter crossing.PMID:38422527 | DOI:10.25270/jic/24.00006
