This study aimed to evaluate three-year outcomes after CTO for PCI in ten centers around China where no on-site coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) support was available. Methods A total of 152 patients from 10 Chinese hospitals without on-site surgical facilities were prospectively studied. Intra-procedural and in-hospital events were assessed. Angiographic follow-up was indexed eight months after the initial procedure. Clinical follow-up was extended to three years. The primary outcome was the rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as cardiac death, myocardial infarction and target-vessel revascularization (TVR). Results The incidence of CTO was 7.9% in patients who underwent PCI, Successful recanalization was achieved in 132 patients (86.8%). Compared with patients in the PCI success group, patients with PCI procedural failure had longer lesion lengths ((42.32±22.08) mm vs (27.61±22.85) mm, P=0.023), a higher rate of perforation (25.0% vs 0, P=0.014), and a greater need for pericardial puncture. There were significant differences in MACE in-hospital and at one year and three years between the failure (10.0%, 30.0% and 35.0%) and the success (3.0%, 12.1% and 14.4%) groups (P=0.037, 0.034 and 0.040, respectively). These led to a significant decrease in the MACE-free survival rate at one and three years in the failure group, compared with the success group (P=0.031 and 0.023, respectively). Stump was the only predictor of recanalization success (HR 0.158, 95% Cl 0.041-0.612, P=0.008), whereas procedural failure (OR 13.023, 95% CI 6.67-13.69, P=0.002), incomplete revascularization (OR 9.71, 95% CI 2.93-5.59, P=0.005), and total stent length (OR 6.02, 95% Cl 1.55-11.93, P=0.027) were three independent predictors of MACE. Conclusions PCI for CTO was unsafe 展开更多

Then, some methodological tools mainly applied in the field of transportation science can be used to discuss the eco-industrial chain network problem. What the highlighted contribution lies in is that the paper not only expands theory of supply chain model with reducing path flow but also generalizes the traditional transportation network equilibrium problem by new applications.展开更多
