Outcomes, Patient Health Status, and Efficiency in Chronic Total Occlusion (OPEN CTO)

This is an observational registry, sponsored by Saint Luke's Hospital. This study is to be conducted according to DHHS Guidelines, applicable state regulations, and local IRB policies and procedures. The overall objective is to address current gaps in knowledge regarding CTO-PCI, as a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study of 1,000 participants.
