Abstract:
The occurrence of total chronic coronary occlusion is about 10% in patients undertaking coronary angiography.These patients are often asymptomatic,but can have angina pectoris after exercise and in other conditions increasing oxygen assumption,a few have cardiac insufficiency.The most effective therapies are coronary arterial bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) plus stenting.The clinical manifestation can be alleviated and cardiac function improved after successful intervention.
