Fate of lumen size in distal coronary segment following successful chronic total occlusion recanalization.

CONCLUSIONS: Lumen diameter distal to CTO lesions significantly increased following successful revascularization, regardless of diseased status of the distal bed or degree of in-stent narrowing. These findings implicate appropriate determination of stent size, stent coverage length, as well as management strategies of distal vessels.
