Relationship between Extent of Ischaemic Burden and Changes in Absolute Myocardial Perfusion after Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

CONCLUSIONS: Major reductions in ischaemic burden can be achieved following CTO PCI, with more defect size reduction in patients with a larger perfusion defect, whereas hyperaemic MBF and CFR improve significantly irrespective of their baseline values or perfusion defect size.
